Afghan Women's Writing Project

I am a bad blogger with good intentions. I just never seem to find the time to devote to this blog, even though I always have lots I want to talk about. Today I just want to talk about my volunteer project, the Afghan Women's Writing Project. This online magazine was started by an amazing woman, Masha Hamilton, a novelist and former war correspondent. American writers work with women in Afghanistan (in secret locations for security) so empower them to express themselves. Their stories are heart-wrenching and beautiful. Please go to www.awwproject.org and read some of the stories and let the women know they are being heard. And then consider financially supporting this important cause. Eden, my tender-hearted daughter, was so moved after spending time on the site that she contributed $20. Hope everyone reading this will do the same.
