NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams Interviews 10,000 Women Afghanistan Graduate

Andeisha Farid is a 10,000 Women graduate from the business women’s training program in Afghanistan run by Dr. Bullough of the Walker Center for Global Entrepreneurship .  Brian Williams with NBC Nightly News recently visited Andeisha’s orphanage for a highlight peice on heros in a country of war.  NBC aired the segment on Friday, October 30th asking for donations from generous American viewers.  A second segment aired the following Monday, November 2nd with news that donations of over $50,000 had come in on Friday night alone and actually crashed the website for a short time.  We are very proud of Andeisha, as she is a great example of the work we are trying to do for women business leaders in Afghanistan.  See the video here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032619/#33557068
