| West Coast Artist Raises Funds to Build Library in Afghanistan. Artist and photographer, Rob Elphinstone, is working with French organization Femaid and ACA Gallery of Toronto, Canada to help bring much needed books to the people in the Eastern portion of Afghanistan. The KidscanreadAfghanistan program is being organized with Malalai Joya, elected representative in the parliament of Afghanistan. The idea is to construct a public library for young adults and children in Afghanistan. The public library will be situated in ancient and historic Herat, one of the main cities of Afghanistan after Kabul and Mazar-e-Sharif, by the Iranian border. To help fulfill this goal limited edition photographic prints are offered for sale by artist and photographer, Rob Elphinstone. His remarkable journey through Badakhshan, an Afghan northern province in the company of Doctors without Borders is a tale that involves art, culture, medicine and the trials of war. Instead of military intervention, this worthy program focuses on educating people in a culturally appropriate manner. Please get involved. |
