A large number of non-profits who work in Afghanistan have come together once a year since 2004 to present their work to the community. The purpose of these events is to raise public awareness and garner support. As the years have gone by, the efforts to rebuild have become hampered by increased instability in Afghanistan. This makes the need for increased public support even more crucial as time has once again become a factor in the race to assist Afghanistan. The event will be held in UC Berkeley, Oct. 22 starting at  11:00 AM.
