Demotix-Future Voice is the window for all Future Voice users to the Global Press.

Our Afghan reporters have made good progress in the last two weeks.

Next week will see the introduction of all reporters to the regional Provincial Reconstruction Teams from USAID and DFID (UK). This will enlarge the reporting capacity of the organisation greatly.

Other news stems from the registration of The Future Voice Press Club - a local NGO in Kabul.

The Club offers a safe and secure hostel, business facilities including the Internet and workshops and welfare services for Future Voice Journalists as well as a membership service to allow Afghan journalists from any organisation to use the accommodation, restaurant, business services at a nominal charge.

The Club also runs a basic HEFAC course and introduces reporters to potential stories and acts as a relaxed environment for media networking.

A great two week period for Future Voice, with thanks to Wahidullah and the rest of the team in Kabul.
