Help Provide A Window Into Kandahar

Independent home-grown journalists in Afghanistan are about as far and few between as honest public officials, which makes Video in Southern Afghanistan such a worthwhile project.

Organized by Small World News, its goal is to raise a modest $3,000 to hire an Afghan video producer in Kandahar to document a region where there is no permanent international media presence.

The sponsors would like to kick off the pilot project in January, and you can chip in through ChipIn.
