Ahmed Shah-otherwise known as the “little pop
singer” is our latest RAWA Child SpotLight! He has a wonderful voice and is an
excellent singer. He has performed in Kabul at the International
Women’s Day function hosted by RAWA. He and his brother Zahir Shah were
shepherds before coming to the orphanage.
He used to sing to himself all the time while looking after the
livestock. A few months ago when one of the orphanage coordinator’s went
to Afghanistan,
he visited Ahmed Shah's parents. It was a two hour hike through desert
to reach their tent. When they were told about Ahmed Shah and his brother, both
mother and father wept with joy! They were so pleased to learn that their sons
were healthy and being educated. They could not imagine that their children
were seen on television by thousands of fans-these young boys who used to take
care of 200 hundred goats in the mountains have really rebuilt their lives into
something different with the help of RAWA and their sponsors from CharityHelp International.
