This picture, below, is by Shoghula. She heard this story of a nine-year-old girl who was abducted, raped, then exchanged for a fighting dog in Kunduz. Obviously this terrible and frightening story made a big impression on Shoghula, who saw it on the news, which is why she has drawn this image.
Thanks Shoghula.
This picture, below, and accompanying text is by Saweeda. Saweeda wishes to see her country become a good place, which is why she drew this anti-heroin poster.
Thanks Saweeda.
This picture is from a young man, Asad. The picture shows how Afghan refugees are so poor and how, as they are going about their daily routines, they see Pakistani children going to schools and they feel so disappointed about their own lives.
Thanks Asad.
This, below, is by Ayesha.
Ayesha says she heard this story from her father and decided she wanted to write it down. In the future she wants to write more stories.
Thanks Ayesha!
