Two new members of the team have joined the Afghan Training Foundation in April 2010 to take forward our work in the UK to raise awareness about Afghanistan.

Zarlashta Behzadi is our Outreach and Administration Officer. A Languages Graduate of Kings College, London, Zarlashta has been working for the Citizen’s Advice Bureau in Greenwich and Camden and, prior to that, law firm Mishcon de Reya.

Hashim Alavi is our part time Outreach Officer and has been doing an MA in Post-War Recovery and Development at the University of York since October 2009. Prior to that he was the Senior Political Affairs Assistant/National Special Assistant to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan.

Zarlashta and Hashim are both of Afghan origin and bring knowledge, commitment and enthusiasm to the work.
