My name is Ryan Costello. I spent two years in Afghanistan, from 2003 to 2005, as the Director of Agriculture for Global Hope Network . I lived in Kabul and worked in the central mountain regions of Bamyan province with refugees who were returning to find their homes and land destroyed by the Taliban, literally coming back to nothing. I learned Farsi while there and made many close friends over Afghan tea and bread. I oversaw distributions of vegetable seed and helped to start the Hope Center for Agriculture and Nutrition Development where rural farmers and their families were trained in hygiene, nutrition, and creative agriculture techniques. I returned to the States at the end of 2005 and currently live in Orlando, Florida where I am the lead singer and co-founder of the band the OaKs . Contact me |
