AFGHAN WOMEN'S DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, SPRING 2006
In collaboration with the Sonoma County Women's Council, WBW will be hosting Alean Haider, our correspondent from the Women's Peace Circle in Kabul, for five days in January, 2006. She will be accompanied by another student from Montclair State University in New Jersey where both are studying thanks to a full tuition scholarship from the Initiative to Educate Afghan Women founded by Paula Nirschel.
The young women will be hosted by Asma Eschen of San Rafael and Stephanie Hiller of Occidental.
A fundraising event featuring the two women will be held January 9 from 5:30-7:30 at a private home in Sonoma County. If you would like to attend this event, please contact Mervis Reissig.
