Review for Women for Afghan Women Inc, Fresh Meadows, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  



Before anything else, I initially liked Woman for Afghan Women, because of its "easy-open gate" for participating and less bureaucratic phases. I was one of the volunteer for teaching the adult class, and without too many complicated process “which in New York , more or less, is rare” I could join to this energetic team!
After several months of being there, in general, I found this NGO, productive, helpful and so influential for clients and volunteers! Students and teachers both are learning from each other which is one of the interesting part of the classes. Besides these wide range of classes of life skills for adults and youngsters, dealing with current issues were another side of this NGO that was useful for whoever is coming to this institution. For instance, after Hurricane Sandy, consulting sessions and conducting brainstorming for bring up new ideas and dealing with new challenges were one of the good examples of positive flexibility and problem solving approach of this NGO to up to date itself to be able to improve women's skills in society based on priorities and urgent issues.
Another social elements that makes this NGO more remarkable and distinguished is cultural exchanges and diversity among different nationalities and generations, and also considering the importance of art within these exchanges!This NGO is playing a significant role in empowerment of not only Afghan women, rather, women from different parts of the world. This Non-for profit organization by efforts of its founders and staff and their promises has provided a broad platform for better future of awareness about the civil rights by making bridge among Afghan Women (and their families) in the United States, and Afghan women within Afghanistan.
**Wishing have less war and more art in close future!**
P.S. by the way, practicing “Keeping Earth Green” is worth mentioning too! Re-using papers, and being cautious about the usage of electricity (for example, boiling right amount of water based on the number of people and keeping water inside the insulated container to keep it warm for a long time), all tiny but good examples of the smart ways of coping with global warming in this NGO in individualistic scale!
