Afghans in Bay Area Won’t Forget Those Living Under Talib...

What this episode covers

San Rafael-based nonprofit Roots of Peace stayed in Afghanistan after the Taliban reclaimed power, working to clear minefields for farmland, while also helping Afghans who wanted to leave get their families out of the country. Siawash Safi, director of technology at Roots of Peace, says relatives still in Afghanistan say they don’t have enough food and are worried about the future — and hope that Americans will consider their plight and try to help.
