Kristen’s book, A Rope and a Prayer is one of our recommended books for a better understanding of the complicated relationship of the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan and the complicated relationship of the United States with Afghanistan and Pakistan. Kristen narrates a gripping story of the power of witnessing and support behind the scenes. We welcome Kristen’s partnership and resolve as a support for young Afghan women wanting to help women heal in Afghanistan.

Dear Kristen,

We are Jeena and Beena, the first HWH scholarship recipients. Thank you very very much for your kindness and generosity. You do not know how much hope you have given us in persuading our dream to become doctors for Afghan women. It really means a lot to us!
Thank you sooooo very much again!

Warmest,
J&B
