<br>
Afghanistan – can we make a difference? <br>
A forum discussion on preparing for peace and progress for Afghanistan as international troops leave.<br>
<br>
Founded by Mahboba Rawi, herself an Afghan refugee, Mahboba’s Promise Inc is an NGO working exclusively in Afghanistan to make positive changes for those who have suffered unimaginable ordeals.<br>
<br>
“I made a promise that for the rest of my life I would help the people that I had left behind. My word is my bond. I have optimism for the future, it does not take much to make a difference because the Afghan people are so resilient and determined to make a better life for their children.” Mahboba Rawi, OAM<br>
<br>
“The reason that the Sydney Peace Foundation has partnered with Mahboba’s Promise for this event is because the work of Mahboba’s Promise is very closely aligned to our ideal of promoting peace with justice and universal human rights. It is a privilege to support this forum. ”Jake Lynch - SPF<br>
