AFGHAN STORIES: Exhibit Web Gallery
Many news stories out of Afghanistan cover the ongoing insurgency and hardships of war. But few tell of how people are rebuilding in war's aftermath. This body of work, exhibited at five venues in New England in 2008 - 2009, explores this other side of Afghanistan.

KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN: March 8, 2009 - After an event at the Governor's Palace commemorating International Women's Day, hundreds of women press in while waiting to receive gifts sponsored by USAID in honor of International Women's Day in Kandahar City. Unlike in the US where Women's Day passes with little notice, the date is celebrated widely in Afghanistan. (Photo © Paula Lerner/Aurora Photos)
