| Decisive
years
After coming to the UK, I realised
that Afghan community living in the United Kingdom needed
an organisation to help them in solving problems related to
their life in exile.
I did professional training programmes on immigration legislation, financial
controls and management and housing, health, issues. I graduated
as a social worker. I was fully equipped to set up an organisation
aiming at assisting helpless Afghans and others.
In 2000, with the help of
friends, I established and got Eagle Eyes N.G.O officially
registered. At first, despite financial hardship, I kept the
organisation running for Five years, without receiving any
external support. I worked on a voluntary basis, using my
pocket money, and always learning about the UK working ethics.
I started the organisation
from scratch, improved its structures and ways of working,
advanced it through linking it to other organisations in the
UK and elsewhere, and established and registered EENGO representations
in twelve countries.
