Dark nights of Kabul

Dark nights of Kabul

Since civil war in Kabul almost all power sources began to fail. Electricity system has suffered the most. As we all know electricity is the main source of civilization in the world. But here in Kabul most parts do not have access to natural power. Only some people use generators and that is why Kabul is called generator city because after evening the whole city smells of diesel and smoke. People do not have any electricity during day as a result they can’t use electric equipment such as computers, TVs, heaters, ovens and etc. In Kabul city we get five hours night electricity every other day in winter. But still most parts are deprived from electricity benefits as a result the life becomes boring for people.

Electricity has a big value for the Afghan children. Whenever, electricity comes to the houses all children immediately shouts happily in the streets “Electricity! Electricity!”. This means that electricity is now the main part of the modern life and it gives hope and pleasure to the people. The children of Afghanistan wish that their nights turn light with the support and assistance of their friends in other parts of the world. Afghan children need to read their lessons in the light of bulbs at night. Our message to the children who have regular access to electricity is to value this asset and be careful in its proper use.
