Buildings Sprout Up in Afghanistan

It seems like everywhere you look these days in Afghanistan there is another building being constructed.  No longer will it be the case that Afghans can’t find a place to send their kids to school; there are possibly more schools, educational facilities and other training development enhancers being erected than ever before.  In Ghazni for example, a laboratory room and library was inaugurated in the Amir Mohammad Khan High School which was given 166 instruments and 750 educational books.  Also, the Balkh Educational Department in the country’s northern province received $24,000 in chairs and tables, etc., which was given to middle and high schools in Chimtal (in the province).  The more developments like these there are for Afghanistan, the better the quality of life it will be for the people seeking to better their situation.  Hamed Wardak, founding member of CUSAP, seeks to improve relations between America and Afghanistan, escalating the quality of life for his Afghan brethren.

Hamed Wardak and Ludus Athletics Philosophy

The purpose of Ludus clothing is to “inspire authenticity, comfort, functionality, and style – both inside and out.”  In addition to clients looking and feeling good, Ludus CEO and founder Hamed Wardak wants them to “feel proud that they are making a difference to their community and world by purchasing earth-friendly, sustainable, organic, and socially conscious apparel.”  Hamed Wardak also believes the “Ludus consumer should feel good in their own skin, helping to inspire others and make a difference with how you live and what you wear.”

Extension on Herat Airport Runway


A ceremony marking the completion of the extension on the Herat Airport runway took place on February 17th.  This momentous occasion was attended by NATO and Afghan officials, including Governor of Herat province Daoud Saba.  According to a NATO news release, “the new runway is approximately 9,840 feet (3,000 meters) long, enabling even the largest civilian aircraft to take off and land.” What this means in practice is that for the first time, the province will be able to receive all sorts of airplanes (before this was quite restricted), which is also good news economically since a lot of money will be saved.  In addition, Saba commented that “culturally it’s a milestone for making Herat one of the hubs of development in the country.”
Individuals like Hamed Wardak, active in trying to make Afghanistan a better place to live, will welcome this achievement since the hope is that in the future, the region can become a “hub for cargo in Afghanistan for its access to southern, northern and central provinces of the country.”  Other projects are planned too that will develop the area even more.

Northern Afghanistan Conditions Improve

A thermal power station is due to be constructed in Shiberghan (Jawzjan province capital), which will be the first of its kind in the entire northern Afghanistan region.   It will work by utilizing natural resources (such as gas) from the province.  According to a recent report, the station is due to be functioning in around four months and is set to “generate 400 megawatts of thermal power.”  As well as meeting the need of those living in Shiberghan, other provinces in northern Afghanistan are also set to benefit from this.  This entire project is bound to benefit those in the region looking for employment as well as everyone’s quality of life when it is up and running.  Hamed Wardak, an Afghan activist working to improve conditions in the region, is always appreciative of such efforts.

Good Employment News for Afghanistan

Major capital is being invested in Ghazni, Afghanistan’s southern province, which will provide jobs for many Afghans.  A recent report claimed that “development projects worth millions of dollars will be launched in the southern province of Ghazni this year.”  The following is set to be constructed: a large mosque (by Saudi Arabia); a trade center (promise from the UAE); a playground (Pakistan) as well as “road projects, wind electric systems and urban development” from a $20 million Polish and US troops donation.”
This can only spell good news for those Afghans looking for employment since the work will be carried out by locals.  Hamed Wardak is continuously working toward the betterment of conditions and quality of life for the people of Afghanistan.

Improving Conditions for Afghans

There have been some significant improvements in Afghanistan that will ultimately make a big difference for the quality of lives of the country’s citizens.
According to a recent NATO press release, there has been road works in the country to link up two major cities – Gereshk and Marjah.  Such work will not only ease transportation for the people of Afghanistan, but will also improve security.  Whenever there are measures taken to aid the country’s security, the people of Afghanistan can relax a little more.
And of course, who will be working on the roads?  Afghans themselves; which basically translates into increased employment opportunities.  This spells good news for activists, such as Hamed Wardak, working for the betterment of Afghan citizens’ lives.
