Afghan Music Project blog

Adam Gouttierre and Chris Becherer, both MBA students at UC Berkeley, blogging about their trip to Afghanistan as a part of the Afghan Music Project (AMP). "The Afghan Music Project (AMP) is a social venture with the goal of raising the awareness of the beauty of traditional Afghan music and the tragic, but uplifting, story of Afghan women through a professionally recorded album. Proceeds from the AMP album will go towards funding educational scholarships for Afghan women." Their blog entries have been extremely interesting so far (Link) - particularly as they talk about the impact of the Newsweek article (Link) and the rumored kidnapping of another westerner (Link).
