At the west end of the Bala Hissar, a fort dating back to the 5th Century and still occupied by the Afghan Military are a small group of houses and shops.

An old song goes,"I have often walked down the street before, but the pavement always stayed always stayed beneath my feet before".

I thought i go back to my favorite theme - faces of Afghanistan. These boys are living in prison with their mothers. We are hoping to start a play group for them. They are sweet little boys who have nothing, even freedom.

Christmas is of course not celebrated in Afghanistan though the Virgin Mary ("Maryam") in Islam is the mother of Jesus. Jesus is considered by Muslims to be one of the great prophets of Islam. A few days before Christmas the Islamic world celebrated Eid ul-Adha. At celebration and many other times balloon sellers are popular. They often have balloons within balloons...
