Dear friends of the Afghan Peace Volunteers; it is March 21!
Celebrate Nowruze.
In Afghanistan New Year’s Day, Now-ruz, is also the first day of spring;
Afghans considers Nowruz a symbol of hope, a new and fresh life.
Wild tulips and other plants start to bloom at this time of the year.
This is a traditional celebration called the Red Flower Festival “Maila e Gule Surkh”
Peace Volunteers continue to walk the walk . . .
“Two young Afghan boys herding cattle in Uruzgan Province of Afghanistan were mistakenly killed by NATO forces yesterday.
They were seven and eight years old.
Our globe, approving of ‘necessary or just war’, thinks, “We expect this to happen occasionally.”
We went with two cows, remembering that the two children were tending to their cattle on their last day.
We are those two children. We want to be human again.”
Therefore today, with sorrow and rage, we the Afghan Peace Volunteers took our hearts to the streets.
We went with two cows, remembering that the two children were tending to their cattle on their last day.
We are those two children. We want to be human again.”
