This is from 2009, but I hadn’t seen it before.
A new video by Samar Minallah that highlights the importance of education for girls. It is the first pushtu/dari lullaby dedicated to daughters! The video has been shot and conceptualized by Samar. It has been sung by renowned singer Naghma and the poetry is by Watan Dost. It has been filmed in Kabul, Bagram, Khyber and Swat by Samar. It has been produced by WCLRF and Heinrich Boll Foundation Afghanistan.
I hadn’t realized how jaded I’ve become until I started watching the video and was pleasantly surprised at the actually positive message. Although, how any child can sleep with all that burden being placed upon them, I don’t know…
