A Conflict of Interest

I (Dr Karen Woo MBBS,MRCS) met Firuz Rahimi at the Afghanaid fashion show back in March 2009. The fashion show was the brainchild of Lady Bridget Cowper-Coles wife of the British Ambassador to Afghanistan, and Mina Bavary and her sisters. I was the producer of the show and Firuz was covering the story for the BBC World Service – central Asia. We got chatting back stage and I discovered that Firuz had originally trained as a doctor back in Afghanistan before becoming a journalist and moving to the UK. As we talked we both discovered that we held the same opinion; that many things can be done if you have a will to do them. We shared the same spirit that whatever you dream to be possible can become a reality; and so a partnership was born.

Dormitory Kitchen is ready and serving food for Students

Construction of kitchen and dining rooms are finished .students started eating their food in dining rooms that is built for that propose. Dining table chairs, food plates, jugs, etc are provided by Bridge team.
As Bridge team doesn’t have sufficient funds to provide food supplements for students therefore we have established a system where money will be collected from students by each representative of the room who has been selected by students themselves. In addition to that students are given small amount of money by the government towards their food cost. Students themselves go to market to buy their food in monthly bases. Bridge team’s cook cooks the food and serves three times.
