The afghan children's songbook project strives to revitalize the children's music of afghanistan which was almost completely eradicated by the war and oppression that has afflicted afghanistan for over 30 years. Fourteen thousand copies of the songbook, qu qu qu barg-e-chinaar: children's songs from afghanistan have been distributed to pre-schools, elementary schools and orphanages across afghanistan. The songbook includes a cd and a cassette tape. It has been used both to introduce children to the vibrant music of afghanistan and also as a basic literacy text. The songbook is printed with bright colorful illustrations and easy-to-read text, making it fun for children to listen to the cd and read along.
