Host a film screening:
If you are interested in hosting a film screening of the ESPN-produced short film, Kabul Girls Club please let us know. The film documents the story of two Afghan female soccer players who received the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at the 2006 ESPY Awards. It describes the struggle that Afghan women now face in their country’s transition to peace; as these girls fight for their right to play, they are making a statement about their proper role in society.  Please contact Awista Ayub regarding your interest to host a film screening.  We've prepared an information letter describing what would be involved in hosting a screening at your home or office.

If your team would like to donate new and gently used equipment to teams in Afghanistan you are in luck!  We've set up a way to send the equipment to Afghanistan with minimal cost to shipping.  We thank Major Thomas Brouns and Dave Emerson for their assistance in support of this project.  We've prepared a helpful information sheet with instructions on sending the shipment.

All Afghan-American Girls Leadership Team:
AYSE is committed to helping foster a society where every child is embraced as an integral members of the community both in Afghanistan and the United States.  Although our focus is on the youth of Afghanistan we aim to inspire Afghan-American girls to become leaders in their American communities through sports.

Our first endeavor toward achieving this mission will be the start of an Afghan-American girls club soccer team lead by a previous AYSE soccer coach, Azita Munsif.  The girls soccer team will not only learn how to play soccer, but they will engage in healthy competition, learn how to work together as a team, and be exposed to successful leaders in our Afghan-American community who will engage and inspire them.  We also believe that giving back to the community is a vital responsibility of any citizen and volunteer service will an integral aspect of team membership.

If you are a parent and would like to find out how to have your daughter involved in the program, or if you are an Afghan-American female soccer player and would like to become a member of the team please contact Awista Ayub for more information.
