Dina the creator of the string peace program, has recently left America to go to Afghanistan, and with her she brought something very important.  The help from people just like us, including a video show ing the teens in Afghanistan what it's like living in my home town in the mountains.  She brought a video made by our school string peace club.  Every state in the US has a school participating in the string peace program and we represent the school in Colorado.  We hope that we can get even more middle and high schools to participate in string peace.

The Real Afghanistan

      We think of Afghanistan as a terrorist filled, desert like place, but in reality it's a war torn yet culturally rich country.  It's full of people who just want a chance to have simple things like a decent home, a job and an education.  However, there are also people who are forced out of there homes to live in the Charahee Qambar ( aka: refugee camp, IDP camp )  where they become IDPs (internally displaced persons) and their homes are made of mud.
