Faces of Afghanistan

We ALL are one!! … “In Afghanistan, you don’t understand yourself
solely as an individual. You understand yourself as a son, a brother, a
cousin to somebody, an uncle to somebody. You are part of something bigger than yourself. – Khaled Hosseini … “

Steve McCurry Curated

A landscape might be denuded, a human settlement abandoned or lost, but always, just beneath the ground lies history of preposterous grandeur. They are everywhere, these individuals of undaunted humankind, irrepressibly optimistic and proud.
– The Carpet Wars, Christopher Kremmer

Yet even at their most turbulent, the Afghans have tended to impress travellers withtheir dignity and hospitality
as much as their fierce independence.
– William Dalrymple, author of
Return of a King:The Battle for Afghanistan 1839–42

In Afghanistan, you don’t understand yourself
solely as an individual.
You understand yourself as a son, a brother, a
cousin to somebody,an uncle to somebody.
You are part of something bigger than yourself.
– Khaled Hosseini
