Suggestions for Women Aid Workers in Afghanistan
If you are going to be in Afghanistan, I highly recommend Lonely Planet Afghanistan
If you want to make a difference in the lives of people in Afghanistan, I recommend you make a donation to CARE International. There is no one doing better work anywhere than CARE.
If you want to help regarding the stray dog and cat situation in Afghanistan, please make a donation to the Mayhew Animal Home and Humane Education Centre, and tell them you want your gift to go to their efforts in Afghanistan. They are working to help spay and neuter dogs and cats there, to train Afghans regarding veterinary medicine, and to change Afghans' cultural practices regarding dogs, which have no basis in the Koran. I have spoken numerous times with a representative of this organization; they ARE making a difference, and your support will help them do even more! Yes, I've made a donation.
