WE DID IT !

Update #3 · Mar 6, 2012 · 2 comments

Thank you all for making this possible.

We reached our initial goal of 9800 $. But we have another 24 days to go. The next step is to raise money for a trip to Peshawar in Pakistan. In the last 30 years many refugees from Afghanistan have lived in this city. It has not only strong ties to Afghanistan it also has its own unique Afghan culture. We have interviewed photographers who have worked there in the past and have still family members living there. And we want to follow these threads.

Again sincere thanks and keep spreading the word.

Lukas & Sean
