Afghans for Civil Society is a non-profit, non-governmental organization founded to promote a democratic alternative and to assist in the development of a civil society. ACS involves the community in reconstruction efforts: everything from physical reconstruction of a bombed-out village, to organizing a women's income generating project to launching an independent radio station. The ACS Web site is: www.afghansforcivilsociety.org. The new independent documentary Life After War chronicles the group's efforts. While at NPR, Chayes reported from Paris, Kosovo, and Afghanistan.
