Recently I have travelled to the villages in Qaraghage the farthest part of Charkent district of Balkh province, North Afghanistan. It is a peaceful place where most of the lives depend on raining water; the life is good when there is enough raining but difficult when there is no enough raining.
The above pictures shows the two young brothers in a dried desert collecting fuels for selling and saying “here haven’t been enough raining this year and there is nothing to do except collecting fuels for selling and also we have to move somewhere else because here we have no water to drink’’
The above two pictures shows the father of the boys collecting fuels, transferring the fuels for selling in the city.
The above picture shows a small boy carrying a bottle of water for his family and the animals, when I asked him why he was not wearing shoes and walking with bare feet on a hot desert, the tears streamed down on his face and said “we have no water to drink how we can find the shoes”.
