Andeisha’s father and brother released!
July 9th 2010
As many of you will have heard through the email grapevine, yesterday soldiers raided the family home of Andeisha Farid, the director of the AFCECO orphanages, and took her father and brother away at gunpoint. Andeisha’s email alerting us to this sparked action by her many supporters and friends in Afghanistan and around the world.
The good news is her father and brother were released yesterday evening (US time) and they are now safe. Sadly, her mother was hospitalized after going into shock, and the children are traumatized. It has been a terrible time for all our friends working and living in the orphanages and for Andeisha’s entire family. We send our love, best wishes and commitment to ongoing support to all of them.
