Found this to be such a positive step Mona, a campaign to bring astronomy to schools, orphanages and refugee camps in Afghanistan, Islam having such a great heritage in astronomy that many of the youngsters will probably not even know.

Now if we can only send them over your article on 'The Sun - Facts for Kids', from which I learned a lot so not only for 'kids', then they will really be set up.

Great story, Francine. In my file of topics I've started researching for stories is something about Astronomers without Borders. They have some many great projects it's hard to know where to start, and the photos from The World at Night are breathtaking.
