Khorasan says a big 'thank you' to all their friends who are helping them to live their childhood in a safe and loving environment. Khorasan's children all come from traumatic backgrounds. Some have been physically injured, all bear emotional scars from their years in refugee camps, living in the streets or with family members who have no resources to look after them. Love, care, education and a warm, happy environment with good and plentiful food is helping to transform these young lives into happy, well-adjusted children. Khorasan relies on your assistance to continue the good work – and there is much to be done in Afghanistan.
