AFGHANISTAN WOMEN & GIRLS - PHOTOGRAPH EXHIBITION

Afghan Stories Exhibit - Paula Lerner Photographer

Many news stories out of Afghanistan cover the ongoing insurgency and hardships of war. But few tell of how people are rebuilding in war's aftermath. This body of work, exhibited at five venues in New England in 2008 - 2009, explores this other side of Afghanistan. paula@lernerphoto.com

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN - Girls giggle with a group of friends on a street corner in their Kabul neighborhood on a warm December day. Wintertime is school vacation time in Afghanistan, when children have some down time from studies. Outlawed from going to school under the Taliban, a generation of girls is now trying to catch up on years of lost education. (Paula Lerner/Aurora)
