The Pace for Peace 5K is returning to Boise this month - this time with a focus on Afghanistan.
“The situation in Afghanistan still is getting worse, not better,” said Yasmin Aguilar with Agency for New Americans. “We have clients here, they are suffering, they have family members there – extended or immediate – and our hands are tied.” Sayed Mirbacha, one of the local students organizing Pace for Peace, fled Afghanistan with his family four years ago after the U.S. military withdrawal and Taliban takeover.
“Leaving everything behind and moving to another country…was shocking,” he said. “The support and the community I found here was so heart-touching to me.”
