We stumbled upon a New York Times online feature on Gloriann Liu, a professional photographer, who was working on a project based in Afghanistan. The project featured was "Forgotten Afghanistan," which focused on telling the stories of the Afghan people who are suffering from the aftermath of bombs and rockets that have fallen. The pictures feature the lives of disabled victims in Afghanistan. Her photos are followed by the their personal story on their accident and daily routine.
We purchased the book in hopes that it will help gain more insight on the difficulties that arise in living with a disability. It should shine some light on hidden difficulties we wouldn't normally notice with their culture, daily lives, and personal challenges. Since we cannot take a trip to Afghanistan anytime soon, the book can help enlighten us.
