Myat Hlae Village, Myanmar

Early this year, the situation looked better in the area because villagers said that they did not hear fighting near their village. But they are still worried as soldiers wandered around their territory. One of the village leaders came to Yangon and we had a chance to meet and talk about the situation.

Garden of Peace and Hope, Afghanistan

It’s been a cold winter in Kabul with lots of snow! We haven’t had any exhibitions at the Garden of Peace and Hope for the past month or so due to the snow. The gardener and I have been working to protect flowers from the snowy weather by covering them with plastic. There is still snow inside the Garden.
