Sometime in the fall of 1965, I made a trip to Qala-i Naw (New Fort), the capitol of Badghis Province located northeast of Herat. On this trip I accompanied Abdul Razik who worked for the Ministry of Education and was visiting Qala-i Naw to visit the public schools. This is a view of the village of Karukh on the road to Qala-i Naw. The Blair Brainard Peace Corps in Afghanistan Photographic Collection captures the photographers experience as a Peace Corps volunteer in Afghanistan, primarily in the city of Herat, 1965-1968.
