Children of a local orphanage in Kabul play.

Girls from a local orphanage in Kabul attend a dance class offered to them once a week by Kabul Dance Studio. Students at the studio learn ballet, tap, and Afghan dance. When asked why she liked to dance, one student answered, “When I dance, I feel free and I forget all of my problems.”

The Sher Derwaza (Lion’s Gate) wall which used to surround the city of Kabul, Afghanistan’s capital and largest city, still stands winding across the city’s mountains. Sher Darwaza is believed to have been built in the 5th century. Kabul’s high elevation of 1,791 meters causes fog to sit over the city in the mornings and evenings.
