I have discovered that many international people have an interest in Afghanistan and a desire to know the people. I feel privileged to live here.  It is an intense, chaotic, and alien place.  The people that we know, work with and live with are loving, fierce, unpredictable, resourceful and humorous.  I have set up this website so that we can share with you our personal experiences of working at PARSA so you can  have a real sense of what life here is like.

Please go to www.afghanistan-parsa.org for a more detailed an formal explanation of our programs and organization.
