As a result of nearly three decades of war in Afghanistan, there are more than two million children who are orphans and over 600,000 children sleep on streets. Over 400,000 children are maimed from land mines and over 1,000,000 children suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome. One in ten Afghan children are severely malnourished, more than half suffer from stunted growth, and one in every four children dies before age five. 50% of the Afghan population is less than 18 years of age with almost no education. Blessed my family left, and trying to use my blessings to help the people back home. I need to go back and hug these kids. And feed them, and teach them, and tell them they are loved. I will not sleep easy until I do so.
