Your purpose to educate Canadians who hear about Afghanistan on a daily basis is commendable. Many Canadians don't know anybody from Afghanistan or understand what is going on over there. We're lucky since I have wonderful friends from there. Would love to "like" you on Facebook. Do you have an address there? Congratulations on your 1st event! See you there!
