As an association, we feel deeply ashamed that we could not evacuate our dear friends and co-workers in Kabul. Words cannot describe how sorry we are. You were the young people who gave hope to a whole generation in Afghanistan.

With your dedication, your solidarity with others, your endless energy you were role models and to many – heroes. You fought with all you had against religious fanatism, against discrimination and war. And you peacefully and creatively fought for your own future in freedom and peace.
