Help Afghan journalist/poet Abdul Samad begin his new life in New Zealand

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to this fund -- Abdul Samad is overwhelmed by your generosity and manaakitanga. He is now settled into his new apartment in central Wellington, and has furnished his entire apartment (down to Afghan-style rugs!) thanks to the kindness of strangers.

Now he can devote his energy to finding a job and embarking on the next phase of his life in Aotearoa.

Thank you all
