Childlight Foundation for Afghan Children

May 16 - Diana Tacey, founder of Childlight Foundation for Afghan Children, gave us an update on the work she and her foundation are doing in Afghanistan. Diana began the program over 10 years ago with a modest funding of $15k. She began the program with the help of several rotary clubs, and many of them have continued to fund it. At first, Diana said, she couldn't believe what she was hearing about the conditions in Afghanistan so she decided to visit and make direct contact with people and organizations and that is what got her started.  Her foundation has concentrated on improving girl's schools in rural communities.  Happily, she’s made  progress in several facilities and has many friends in the villages. She’s very optimistic that conditions will continue to improve and she plans to keep visiting the area to keep urging the communities to improve their conditions and treatment of women.  Diana is hopeful that our club will be one of her sponsors to continue this important work.
