Oxfam announced today that its six-year-old "Winter Schools" programme, reaching 307 schools in one of the poorest regions, will begin on time this year-despite ten weeks of war and upheaval. Oxfam's programme is one of only a handful in Afghanistan that has allowed girls equal access to education. "Emergency relief, particularly delivering food aid, has taken up most of Oxfam International's efforts in recent months," said Rieky Stuart, executive director of Oxfam Canada. "But where possible other support must continue. Food keeps people alive, but education gives the country a future."

Most chose to scale up their activities and felt it necessary to try and fill the aid vacuum seeking to provide humanitarian assistance to affected populations. Each organization assessed needs in their operational zones, the gaps in service delivery due to the exodus of aid agencies, their own organizational and staff capacities, etc. Since many of the partner organizations were originally established as humanitarian aid organizations and also had the experience of often working in conflict conditions during most of their existence, they were in a position to react rapidly and realistically given the circumstances. This report offers a brief summary of the humanitarian relief efforts supported by Oxfam beginning in September 2001, some of which are ongoing today.

More than 350 Tons of Medical Supplies Shipped to Afghanistan Date February 11, 2002 The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that it has sent more than 350 tons of medical supplies into Afghanistan since September 2001. The shipments have been the sole source of essential medicines for about 3 million people, WHO said in a February 11 statement. The shipments are important in a country where the medical system and the supply channels for necessary equipment and drugs have been broken down by years of war and neglect. The WHO is also delivering supplies to remote areas of Afghanistan that are inaccessible because of snow-covered mountain passes through much of the year. WHO is sending supplies by aircraft to isolated Ghor province starting the week of February 11. WHO spokesperson Lori Hieber-Giradet said, "Many health clinics and hospitals would not have been able to provide even the most rudimentary services to needy populations through the past several months without these supplies." She spoke to reporters at a briefing in Islamabad. In October 2001, WHO released a survey of health conditions in Afghanistan indicating that measles, acute respiratory infections, pregnancy related complications, diarrhea, and tuberculosis were major threats to the population. The WHO supplies equip hospitals and clinics to treat these conditions, and the agency offers other essential health services.

Appetite Afghanistan Express Persian, Pakistani, Indian influences meld in traditional Afghan cuisine by Kathryn Eastburn Comment on this Story NOVEMBER 22, 2001: This year as we give thanks for America's bounty, for relative safety and for unification of family, our thoughts will naturally turn to Afghanistan. Images of ruin and starving exiles dominate the television screen, further blurring our knowledge of the rich, 5,000-year-old culture that seems in constant danger of obliteration by warring factions and foreign bombs raining down. Many years ago, at least 20, a good friend of mine spent his summers in Afghanistan studying Persian weaving and rugs. His photos and elaborate descriptions evoked street scenes rich with merchants and craftsmen. He lauded the exotic textiles, the beauty of the people, the food. Sadly, recent reports from Kabul indicate that meat has disappeared from the markets as agricultural lands are increasingly abandoned or destroyed. Rice and potatoes fill the bins of most groceries. Smaller cities in the United States, for the most part, are not lucky enough to have an Afghan restaurant, but the majority of larger cities boast at least one Afghan eatery where the richness of Afghan cooking can be enjoyed. On a recent trip to Washington, D.C., I was delighted to discover the recently opened Afghan Grill in the newly trendy Adams-Morgan neighborhood. A small, tastefully decorated dining room perched above a beauty salon, Afghan Grill, on the night we visited, was packed with curious diners.

Thompson announced on Sunday the delivery of thousands of interactive women's health books built with the LeapPad® learning system technology to Afghanistan and an additional $6 million in aid to improve the health of the Afghan people. Announced in August, and under development for nearly two years, the talking books provide important personal health information designed especially to help Afghan women who cannot read or write. Joining Secretary Thompson in delivering the LeapPad systems was Bhavin Shah, Director of New Business Development from LeapFrog Enterprises. The announcement was made at the Rabia Balki Hospital in downtown Kabul. "Each time I visit Afghanistan I am touched by the warmth of the people and the hope in their eyes," Secretary Thompson said. "It's heartening to leave Afghans with this talking book, a lasting legacy, from the American people. I hope that these books and the new funding will be a signal to the Afghan people that Americans will remain by their side as they grow as a nation."

Helmand: Every issue we take a journey to a different region in Afghanistan. This issue we selected the southern province of Helmand. By Daud Saba January - March 1998 Lemar-Aftaab Helmand is located among the Southern provinces of Afghanistan bordering Kandahar, Farah, Orozgan and Zabul. In the past sixty years the importance and prosperity of the cities and towns in the province of Helmand have dramatically changed. Until 1940, the province was considered as part of the province of Kandahar, but after the implication of the Helmand-Argandab Irrigation Project, it obtained the status of a separate province with the capital Gareshk. In 1957, the capital changed from Gareshk to the newly built city of Lashkargah (ancient Bost). The city of Lashkargah was built close to the ruins of the ancient city of Bost which had a small bazaar. The homes of the American employees of the Helmand-Argandab project were the first buildings erected in the vicinity of the hospital and other government institutions on the eastern flanks of the Helmand river bed. The project of the Lashkargah was designed by American specialists, and differed much from the design of the other Afghan cities. The bazaar was made up of two buildings and shops along a straight boulevard on the south-eastern side of the city.

97. TastyCooking.com afghanistan, (which literally means Land of the Afghan) is a mountainous landlocked country Cook until they are lightly browned. Remove from oil. http://www.tastycooking.com/afghanistan.html

Back to Map of Asia Afghanistan Afghanistan, (which literally means Land of the Afghan) is a mountainous land-locked country located in Central Asia. It has a history and culture that goes back over 5000 years. Throughout its long, splendid, and sometimes chaotic history, this area of the world has been known by various names. In ancient times, its inhabitants called the land Aryana. In the medieval era, it was called Khorasan, and in modern times, its people have decided to call it Afghanistan. The exact population of Afghanistan is unknown, however, it is estimated to be somewhere around 21-26 million. Afghanistan is a heterogeneous nation, in which there are four major ethnic groups: Pashtoons, Tajiks, Hazaras, and Uzbeks. Numerous other minor ethnic groups (Nuristanis, Baluchis, Turkmens etc.) also call Afghanistan their home. While the majority of Afghans (99%) belong to the Islamic faith, there are also small pockets of Sikhs, Hindus and even some Jews. The official languages of the country are Pashto and Dari (Afghan Persian). The capital of Afghanistan is Kabul, which throughout history, was admired by many great figures, such as the great Central Asian conqueror, Zahirudeen Babur. Unfortunately, due to many years of war, this great city has been shattered and nearly destroyed.

Margarita's International Recipes Afghanistan Qaubili Pilau Pilaus, rice and meat dishes, are central to any Afghan dinner and I was very interested in trying one. I found several recipes for Qaubili Pilau but chose the original one below because it seemed rather simple. It was pretty good, a dish that certainly grows on you as you keep eating it. It is also a beautiful looking dish, and one that will likely impress your guests. The original recipe claims to be for 6-8 people. While this may be so if served as part of a Dastarkhan (an Afghan banquet), it will probably serve no more than 4 if served as a main or only dish. In my version I increased the amount of meat that it calls for - if you use beef or chicken, you probably will need to use less, but lamb is very fatty and not much remains when you trim it of all the outside fat. I also reduced the amount of oil it calls for, but it is still a very fattenning dish. I forewent the optional blanched almonds because I didn't feel like making them, but I think they would have added a nice, crunchy element to the dish. I changed a little the amount of spices required and added garam masala, which I saw as an ingredient in other variations of this recipe.

Margarita's International Recipes Afghanistan Firnee Afghan Custard When I cook international food (or eat out at ethnic restaurants) I usually exclude deserts, as I've found that I'm not generally very fond of them. I'm not sure if this is because my tastes are too "western" with respect to desserts or because many cuisines just don't have great desserts. Whatever the case, as I am now cooking international food so as to explore different culinary traditions, I could not leave desserts aside. I chose to make Firnee because it sounded both simple and somewhat "safe". I don't tend to like the overly sweet pastries that are a staple of middle eastern cuisine, and I'm not a baker, so I try to avoid baking whenever possible. Firnee was a good choice with respect to ease of making. It's very easy and very quick to make. The problem is that it's just not very good. I don't think that this is a particular problem with the recipe or my execution, as I've noticed that the few restaurant reviews that mention firnee have not given it particularly high marks. I modified the original recipe in two ways - one bad and one good. The bad is that I substituted rose water for the water. Some other versions of this recipe I saw called for rose water, but 1/4 cup of such is just too much and made the whole custard taste of rose water. If you like rose water, then make sure that you don't put more than 1 or 2 tablespoons of it at the most. The good, is that I greatly increased the sugar. With 1/3 cups of sugar this custard is just too bland - give it a little more and it becomes OK. I included the saffron, but I found that it did not add much flavor. Given how expensive saffron is, I'd skip it next time. I also included the slivered almonds, but I also think they do little to contribute to the dessert. The pistachios on top, however, where much better.
