Planned Parenthood – “How to put on a condom and how to use one is an easy process. As one of the many different types of birth control, condoms prevent against both pregnancy and STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) when used correctly. Condoms are also the most common and accessible form of birth control available to everyone without a prescription. If both you and your partner know how to put on and use a condom, it will make using a condom easier, more pleasurable, and will also make the condom more effective. To learn more about condoms, contact your local Planned Parenthood health center (http://www.plannedparenthood.org).”
* Sahar Adish: The Power of an Afghan Girl’s Education (2007-11-26)
International Rescue Committee – “Since 1980, the International Rescue Committee has helped nearly 7,000 Afghans start new lives in the U.S. A shining example of the resettled Afghan story-and the power of a girl’s education-is Sahar Adish. Sahar is now a 19 year-old pre-med student at the University of Virginia and recently received a prestigious George Foster Peabody Award for a film she helped to make telling her family’s heroic story of escape from the Taliban. On November 7, 2007 Sahar inspired a crowd of over 750 guests at the IRC’s Freedom Award dinner, which officially kicked off a year-long celebration of the IRC’s 75th anniversary.”
