Dear Farhad,

Please join us for a special evening to make a difference in the lives of the children that Afghan Education for a Better Tomorrow and International Orphan Care serve in Afghanistan. There are over 700,000 orphans living in sub-poverty conditions in Afghanistan. AEBT and IOC provide education, healthcare, nutrition and vocational training so that these children will be healthy and productive members of their community. Please join us on Friday February 3 at the Century House in Fremont from 6 PM to 10 PM. The evening includes an Afghan buffet dinner, silent and live auctions and raffle, fashion show, inspirational speakers and Afghan music performed by Fawad Roshaan, Khushal Aqmal and Saed Ameir Hashimi.

Fariba Nawa weaves her personal story of reconnecting with her homeland after 9/11 with a very engaging narrative that chronicles Afghanistan's dangerous descent into opium trafficking, its impact on the U.S. campaign, and most revealingly, how the drug trade has damaged the lives of ordinary Afghan people."
