Tomorrow is recognized as an international day of peace. More specifically, it is a day dedicated to the “absence of war” and will hopefully be marked by a temporary ceasefire in combat zones around the world. At the United Nations, the “Peace Bell,” inscribed with “Long live absolute world peace,” will be rung as a reminder of the “human cost of war.”
No place seems to be more deserving of peace than Afghanistan. No people understand more completely the terrible cost of war. To commemorate this day, I’d like to share the stories of three of ARZU STUDIO HOPE weavers and what peace means to them.
