The article is about a former refugee turned hero, Andeisha Farid, 28, who founded the Afghan Child Education and Care Organization in Kabul in 2008 to create orphanages that provide safe environments, places to learn and paths to the future. Andeisha grew up in refugee camps in Iran and Pakistan. The difficult experiences in her childhood were part of her inspiration to work to improve the lives of Afghan orphans. She has provided assistance in various forms to over 650 children in Afghanistan and Pakistan and helped found 11 orphanages. Andeisha believes education is the key to empowering the children to overcome their past and encouraging them to become positive and productive members in their society.
I believe those involved in social work, orphanages, adoption, child advocacy, educators, and missionaries all over the globe would find this article useful. I really enjoyed reading this article. Andeisha is an inspirational woman who continually works to improve the lives of the orphans despite all the obstacles she faces such as: security issues, budget problems and gender inequality.
