Opening of New PARSA Office-by Anoosha




Last week on a beautiful sunny morning a happy group of people comprising of Afghans and expatriates took part in the opening ceremony of the new PARSA Office in Kabul. People from different walks of life were invited for the opening ceremony. After a couple of PARSA staff members delivered their speeches on the occasion, I was also asked to talk about my pen pal project. I read a letter from an orphan by the name of Gulmina and a letter from her pen pal called Jill. We have learnt many lessons from the letters. For instance, nothing bad will last for ever. Or Afghan orphans think about their immediate material needs while American youths think more about human feelings because their material requirements are almost fulfilled.

After speeches the participants took a tour of the new office which is located in a very peaceful and green area. The offices looked very tidy and well furnished in an Afghan traditional manner. The whole ceremony was such as lovely welcoming event. Though the office is relatively small but it is a huge hope for the future of Afghanistan. While we congratulate PARSA for opening the new office, meanwhile we wish them the best of luck for their humanitarian assistance to the needy people of Afghanistan.
