IASF offers up an ongoing "expose" of folks from Afghanistan who have opened up their world through the internet, through blogging.
PhotoStory
I started encouraging young Afghans to blog. I founded and organized the Afghan Association BlogWriters at www.afghanpenlog.com (Farsi) and http://afghanpenlog-en.blogspot.com (English) to promote blogging in
Afghanistan. Afghan Penlog is now a network of Afghan bloggers.
I am organizing a first teaching blog workshop in Kabul for students and journalists shortly. The aim is to develop the Afghan digital media through blogging. We don't have a completely free media; I think we can fill this gap through blogs. Through these, we can practice free speech and build the way to democracy.
