International youth day was celebrated in peace embassy on 12th of August 2011. This year youth’s day had coincided with 12th of Ramadan. The original celebration day to mark the day by mobilizing a cleaning campaign in down town Kabul was not implemented. Peace voice members were to coordinate with certain civil society organizations and do a campaign of several hundred people to leave an impact in easing the tension surrounding the usual days of Kabul. But due to some shortcomings in coordination and lack of willingness in the part of possible partners, the campaign did not take place. Anyway, the youths in peace voice sufficed in marking the day by coming together and inviting youths to ponder on the importance of youths in the society, their roles, means to enhance their roles and so on. They spoke each for a short moment and expressed their aspirations as youths and the priorities of the youths of Afghanistan. Noor Navayee talked about this year’s motto, voluntarism and importance of that. Ahmad shah Stanekzay explained peace voice plans in coming weeks and months.
The event took place in the evening, so all the participants were served a simple meal for eftari (meal to break their fast). Another part of the event was round singing. The theme of the songs was asked to be related to youths. They all sang, and Mr. Hashemeyan played the traditional damborah and sang afghan songs. All felt happy and energetic as youths and vowed to better celebrate the day in coming years by doing some concrete work in the community.
