KIND WORDS
FROM FRIENDS:
Where we work
Many of the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Tajikistan where we work have been plagued by poverty, illiteracy, and
violence for centuries. Because of this, other organizations don’t—or can’t—work here. But Central Asia Institute is at home
in these places, often high in the mountains, off the beaten path.

I am [an] 18 year old teenager [ from] Swabi,
Pakistan. The roots of education are bitter, but
the fruit are sweet. I want to help too. I want to be
useful to my country. I want to do something for the
development of my beautiful homeland. Thanks for
showing me the right path.
