Afghan Women's Writing Project and SOLA share stories with American audiences

From a performance at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne on April 9, 2011

SOLA and the Indiana Center for Middle East Peace cosponsored an event featuring the work of several writers in the Afghan Women's Writing Project at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne. IPFW Women's Studies students along with Sana and Meena presented a dramatic recreation of a gathering of students at SOLA-School of Leadership, Afghanistan. Music from Dr. Louise Pascale's Afghan Children's Songbook was also used in the presentation.

Here are some of the essays that were read. These videos are available on Youtube:
