Acknowledgements and References Introduction and summary This paper assumes a view of development that is much more than material benefits, and is the sum of people's own aspirations, efforts, and learning towards bettering themselves materially, socially, intellectually, and spiritually. Based on lessons learned in a large Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) programme run under the auspices of UNDP/UNOPS and implemented by NGOs, the paper examines how far the programme is relevant to local values. It argues that a CBR programme, through cadres of field workers trained in detailed social and community work, can engage communities in a dialogue that seeks understanding with local values and can therefore lead to a sustainable development process that goes beyond the field of disability.

Preserving the History and Culture of Afghanistan a digital project of the University Library University of Nebraska at Omaha This project, still in its early stages, uses equipment funded by a 2002 grant from the University of Nebraska Foundation, to convert selected materials from the nationally recognized Arthur Paul Afghanistan Collection to digital formats. While all of the texts selected for digital conversion are important sources for scholars and researchers, many may be even more valuable to the peoples of Afghanistan. Libraries and cultural institutions throughout Afghanistan were devastated by a quarter-century of conflict and many vital texts were lost. The University Library initiated this multi-year project to support an electronic repository that insures the preservation and availability of these materials. Recent news coverage: Preserving Afghanistan's present and past The Constitutions of Afghanistan In 2003, Shaista Wahab, librarian for the Arthur Paul Afghanistan Collection, served as the Archivist for the Constitutional Loya Jirga, Afghanistan’s General Assembly, as it worked to write a new constitution for Afghanistan. The constitutional history of Afghanistan thus became a logical focus for the initial stages of this project. Books of Historical and Cultural Significance Historical texts provide researchers with primary source materials. Contained within this collection are first-hand accounts of the British military and their exploits in the country during the early- and mid-1800s. In addition, selected items provide early scholarly research on the tribes and peoples of Afghanistan. Complementing historical texts, cultural texts offer insight into societal developments in Afghanistan. Poetry, literature, and personal narratives often reflect the times in which they are written. Items included in this collection present alternative perspectives into the history of the country and its varied cultures.

Countering Cultural Terrorism: A Response to the Destruction in Afghanistan Update: June 21, 2002: Experts have decided not to re-create Afghan's smashed Buddha statues IRNA Press Agency,Islamabad, May 31, 2002. Archaeological experts in Afghanistan have decided not to re-build the two giant Buddha statues in the Bamiyan valley, destroyed by the Taliban last year, UNESCO's Assistant Director general for Culture, Mounir Bouchenaki, said at a press conference in Islamabad on Friday. However, Bouchenaki said the cave complex at the former site of the statues and the murals there would protected. Through a Japanese funded project, worth 70,000 dollars, a small museum would be set up and new excavations undertaken in Bamian, a valley on whose mountain cliffs the giant Buddha statues were built. The decision not to re-create the Buddhas was also taken at a conference of archaeological experts in the Afghan capital Kabul earlier this week. Click here for more. In response to news reports that Afghanistan's ruling Taliban militia has begun demolishing statues across the country, Bonnie Burnham, President of the World Monuments Fund, issued the following statement: The Taliban's edict to destroy all pre-Islamic statues in Afghanistan and their subsequent demolition of the great Buddhas in Bamiyan was a disturbing reminder that cultural destruction can be a potent weapon in campaigns of political oppression and tyranny.

But journalists, who live in a world of satellite communications, are in for a culture shock at a place with no electricity and no phones, where information comes via the town crier. Irris Makler reports from Northern Afghanistan. TEXT: It's market day in Khodja Bahoudin, a town of thirty five thousand perched on the desert of northern Afghanistan. It lies in the small fraction of the country controlled by the opposition to the Taleban, the Northern Alliance. Its population has been swelled by thousands of refugees who fled here when the Taleban captured nearby towns just over a year ago. Despite the repeated air strikes and the presence of U-S ground forces in Afghanistan many of these people do not know in any detail about the terrorist attacks in the United States in September. /// BARBERSHOP ACT /// At a barbershop a group of men are waiting to have their beards trimmed. They say they haven't heard about the attack on the World Trade Center. The only man who does know, Nasr, has not seen any pictures. "We do not have television," he says, "or newspapers with pictures."

Afghan Schools on Verge of Collapse By Thalif Deen, IPS, 29 December 1998. Afghanistan's educational system, battered by nearly 20 years of warfare, is on the verge of collapse.

Archives Today is Medin Pasolasvaka Poya Buddhist culture in ancient Afghanistan by Sita Arunthavanathan I t may interest you to know that the message of the Buddha was disseminated in Afghanistan in the life-time of the Buddha Himself, very much earlier than in Sri Lanka or any other country where it continues to flourish today. Many of the ancient monuments and sites in Afghanistan belong to Buddhist faith, the most significant being the world-renowned Bamiyan Buddhan statue, the largest in the world. The situation of Afghanistan on the two routes which passed through the Tarim Basin from Balkh to the Chinese Frontier, famous in the ancient trading world as the 'silk routes' contributed to merchants from all over conglomerating here. In addition to introducing new trends and brands in trade, they also carried with them the news of epoch-making religious and cultural events. It was through two touring merchant brothers - Tapassu and Bhalluka - of Afghanistan that Buddha Dhamma reached their homeland. Tapassu and Bhalluka These two brothers well known in Buddhism were the first two lay devotees (upasaka) of the Buddha. In the seventh week after the attainment of Buddhood when Buddha was still enjoying the bliss of Enlightenment, these two approached Him at the Rajayatana Tree in Buddgayaya and offered the First Alms to Him. They took refuge in the Buddha and the Dhamma as by this time the Sangha had not arisen and thus became the first two upsasakas (dve vacika upasaka). At their request for an object of worship, the Buddha gave them eight handfuls of hair from His head according to Anguttara Nikaya Commentary.

home search help worldguide ... Postcards Afghanistan History Afghanistan's history as a country spans little more than two centuries, although it has contributed to the greatness of many great Central Asian empires. As with much of the region, the rise and fall of political power has been inextricably tied to the rise and fall of religions. It was in Afghanistan that the ancient religion of Zoroastrianism began in the 6th century BCE. Later, Buddhism spread west from India to the Bamiyan Valley, where it remained strong until the 10th century AD. The eastward sweep of Islam reached Afghanistan in the 7th century AD, and today the vast majority of Afghanis are Muslim. Between 1220 and 1223, Genghis Khan tore through the country, reducing Balkh, Heart, Ghazni and Bamiyan to rubble. After damage was repaired, Timur swept through in the early 1380s and reduced the region to rubble again. Timur's reign ushered in the golden Timurid era, when poetry, architecture and miniature painting reached their zenith. Timur's fourth son, Shah Rukh, built shrines, mosques and medressas throughout Khorasan, from Mashad, in modern-day Iran, to Balkh. Heart continued to prosper under Sultan Hussain Baykara (died 1506), producing such great Central Asian poets as Jami and Alisher Navoi.
