Our permanent technical and professional staff is comprised of highly qualified and experienced Afghans who are well known and received in the communities we serve. We also have a long list of experts upon whom we can call for short-term project support.

Our activity list is long. We recently accepted the responsibility of expanding our collaboration with the Brooke Hospital for Animals and the World Society for the Protection of Animals to include all of Nangarhar and Kabul Provinces in a program to improve the health of draft animals. We are also exploring a collaborative effort to establish primary eye and vision care services in rural Nangarhar and neighboring provinces.

We always work to maintain hope, courage and a helping spirit in every situation. These attitudes and the great zeal of our staff, international partners and program participants have allowed positive interventions to succeed during the Soviet-imposed war and events thereafter in Afghanistan.
