Basir Bita, who worked for several years as an advisor to Afghan Peace Volunteers, was on Joe Public Speaking toward the end of last year, prior to the US pull-out from Afghanistan. Since then, Basir and his wife and children managed to get out of Afghanistan, and are now in Canada. He kindly agreed to speak with me about life in Afghanistan, and now out of Afghanistan.
Toward the end of the interview he mentions an organization that helps people in Afghanistan who still hope to emigrate. Here's the web address:
