In December 2007 I was in New Delhi for the International National Trusts Organization conference. This conference was attended by over 400 people from around the world and among them was one from Afghanistan, Abdul, who was an employee of the Aga Khan Heritage Trust. Abdul presented a very interesting and inspiring paper on the value of ‘place’ in a war torn country. He spoke of two projects sponsored by his organization in the city of Kabul, in particular about the rebuilding of a city park where on a weekend around 3,000 people gather to enjoy the green space and the peace. His talk was fascinating and inspiring.
In Victoria we have a special attachment to Afghanistan because so many of our brave Canadian Forces members have seen active duty there.
