Ngezikhathi zasekuseni ezibandayo zaseKabul, ebusika obudlule, igceke elingaphandle kwekhaya lase-Afghan Peace Volunteer (APV) laba yindawo yemisebenzi emibalabala nephithizelayo njengoba omama, izingane, nama-APV asemasha ebambe iqhaza “kwiprojekthi ye-duvet.” Ngibonga abantu abaningi abavela kude abasinikeze isikhuthazo futhi banikela ngemali. Sithemba ukuthi uzoqhubeka nokuxhasa lo msebenzi obalulekile kulezi zinyanga ezizayo.
Ama-duvets yizingubo ezisindayo, ezigcwele uboya, okungenza umehluko phakathi kokuphila nokufa phakathi nobusika obunzima kakhulu bukaKabul. Amavolontiya Wokuthula ase-Afghan axhumane nokwenziwa nokusatshalaliswa kwamadayivi ayizinkulungwane ezintathu, ngaphandle kwenkokhiso kubamukeli, ebusika buka-2013-14. Kanye nokuletha imfudumalo edingekayo emindenini ehlwempu, le phrojekthi imeme abantu abavela emikhakheni ehlukahlukene yokuphila ukuthi basebenze ndawonye.
Abesifazane abangama-60 sebebonke, abangama-20 abavela kuqembu ngalinye lezinhlanga ezintathu ezihlukene- iHazara, isiPashto nesiTajik, - bathole umholo ophilayo ngokwenza ama-duvets. Emphakathini lapho abesifazane benamathuba ambalwa kwezomnotho uma ikhona, le mali isize abesifazane ukubeka ukudla etafuleni nezicathulo ezinyaweni zezingane zabo. Abesifazane babefika, bevame ukuphelezelwa yindodana encane, bezothatha okokumboza, uboya nentambo. Ezinsukwini kamuva owesifazane ngamunye wayezobuya nama-duvet amabili aqediwe. Ama-duvets abe esedluliselwa kubantu abahlala emakamu ababaleki, abafelokazi nezintandane abangenabondli ekhaya, imindeni yezingane ezibe yingxenye yohlelo lwe-APV “lwezingane ezihlala emgwaqweni”, imindeni edingayo yabafundi abangaboni kahle, nabakhubazekile abantu abahlala eKabul.
Ukuphana kwabaxhasi abaningi kwenza ama-APVs athenge izinto, baqashe indawo yokugcina nokusabalalisa, futhi bakhokhele izinkokhelo kanye nezindleko zokuhamba kwabesifazane abakha ama-duvets.
