Kids in Kabul, Photo by Mark Knobil
Today we focus on Afghanistan. First, we meet the Chicago Tribune's reporter in Afghanistan. She's spent 5 years covering Afghanistan and says that some Afghans are losing hope. Then, in our
Global Activism
series, hear how a local non-profit is rebuilding Afghanistans agricultural backbone and providing alternative opportunities to former poppy farmers.
