  ARYA - Helping Afghanistan's Widows and Orphans
Kapisa and Parwan were chosen because during the 23 years of war and especially the last 7 years these provinces have been the front lines of defense against the Russians and the Taliban.
The decision was made to include the inhabitants of Parwan and Kapisa and do this project with their involvement and input.
The project not only provided the means for the widows to earn some money and self-respect, but also made the children aware that there are people far away that think about them and in doing so made a bond between the people who care and the people who need the care.

This was Kapisa, the famed summer capital of the mighty king of the Kushans, Kanishka.

 Terrorism - Afghanistan: a Return to Warlordism?
Back in Afghanistan, the various warlords who control the country's outlying provinces are proving harder to woo.
For outside of Kabul, and the adjacent provinces of Kapisa and Logar, many of the old guard still harbor designs over their traditional fiefdoms, with some not taking kindly to attempts by the infant Afghan administration to impose a new post-Taliban order upon them.
That some of this old guard are also members of the interim authority makes the emerging political map of Afghanistan even more complex.
