Help the Afghan blogger

Help the Afghan blogger

: The first Afghan blogger, Waheed, continues to post up a storm. The Australian coworker who convinced him to start the blog, Paul Edwards, inserts a post asking for help on behalf of Waheed:

Waheed really needs a laptop and a digital camera, but he’s too shy to ask for it. Two people offered a digital camera, but they didn’t provide an email contact. If you have either of these two items available, could you please send an email to Waheed. The items can be posted to a US address (which will be provided) which will get through to Waheed’s US boss in the military. Also, PayPal has been added to the account, thanks to Tom Villars. It costs Waheed US$3/hour to access the internet…

Go to it.

    Jeff,
    Thanks very much for carrying the torch! I just got an email from Waheed, and he’s passed me an address for the 1SGT (American) he works with. I’ve got a cheapo digital camera on its way–a better one would be better, if there’s someone with deeper pockets than me.
    I wouldn’t have thought of doing any of this if it weren’t for your work with the Iraqi bloggers. Thank you.

    Tom Villars has helped and saved many Iraqi bloggers in the past. Glad to see he’s on Waheed’s case.
