As promised, Judy Duchesne – Peckham’s book of photography of the House of Flowers, Healing Afghanistan, is out! And it is beautiful. A large, hardback full color book in this time of digital books is a real treat, especially when it features the children that so many of you all have been supporting for years. This book has pictures from when they were very young, and it is a marvel to see them then and now and realize how much has happened in their lives and how wonderfully they have matured.
There are also written commentaries by Mostafa Vaziri and Allison Lide, co-founders of the House, as well as three of the House of Flowers staff, who offer touching and poignant perspectives on their work at the House of Flowers with the children.
The book is very reasonably priced (under $40) and all the profits go to the House of Flowers! You can see more details at healingafghanistan.com
