afghan_orphanage_ny201

Habibullah, 11, reads a Dari textbook while sitting in his room which he shares with 29 other boys in the overcrowded Thahya-I-Maskan Orphanage in Kabul, Afghanistan (news - web sites), Jan. 28, 2003. The orphanage which was built to shelter 500 boys, is now home to 1,150 boys. According to Afghanistan's General Director of Orphanage Affairs, Alhaj Abdul Habib Samim, the reason the orphanages are so crowded is due to Afghan refugees returning from Pakistan and Iran.
