Holding Afghanistan's future

BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan -- An Afghan woman from the Panjshir valley holds a plastic container of saffron as an example of how it should be sorted. Saffron is a very valuable herb commonly used in cooking that has recently been introduced to the Afghan countryside. Women grow it, sort it, and then sell it to companies as a means to increase their livelihood. (U.S. Air Force photo/1st Lt. Kathryn Graves)
