"In February of 2003, I visited an orphanage in Kabul and was struck by the age I saw reflected back at me from the eyes of the children. Their eyes hold much of the death and destruction they have witnessed in their short lives and they show wisdom gained from these experiences and a curiosity as well. Family is a major component of life in Afghanistan and these children have lost their connections with loved ones thus losing this important element of stability. The conditions are harsh and resources are stretched in the outside world as well as the orphanage, forcing some families to send their children to an orphanage with the hope of increasing their chances for survival and growth."
