Her parents and grandparents, siblings and a few cousins packed themselves into the car. Which road to take? In Afghanistan, that day, it was the wrong one. A drone bombed their car. Four-year-old Jwandune was the only survivor. Alive, but badly injured, she lost both eyes, one hand, and part of her nose. Today Jwandune (her name means “life”) lives in the Metro DC area with her adoptive family.  She is a shy, intelligent girl of nine, fluent in English and Pashtun. She loves school and sings in the choir. Surgeons have rebuilt her face and given her artificial eyes to make her appearance socially acceptable. Though blind, she navigates her world well.  Her adoptive mother notes that the US military paid for much of her medical care and some reconstructive surgery, but more operations and expenses lie ahead.
 “Music, sound itself, is one of the most powerful mediums known to humankind,” says Karen Johnson.  When Karen met Jwandune and her adoptive family, compassion and love of music combined to become this benefit concert. All the participating musicians—Brian and Dancing Heart—are donating their talents for this courageous girl’s future. Your contributions will primarily support Jwandune’s future surgeries and her education. A portion will also go to Save the Children, a global nonprofit organization founded 100 years ago, to provide hope for children who survive conflict and violence.
Suggested minimum donation is $25; your generous contribution will be gratefully accepted.
Chat with the artists and friends at a reception in the church hall after the concert.
