The Story of Ahmed

Ahmed Esfahani, Karaj, Iran.
Mr. Esfahani came back form a small public farm where he shared the land with others family men. 9 at most. Nobody could remember when was the last time they see him smile. Not even his dearest wife. Just like any others day, he came home when the day was almost dark. The living in Tehran was not easy especially for the poor and not to mention the corrupted religion leaders who used the name of Allah s.w.t for their own sake. But that day was exceptional. Mr. Esfahani with his torn outfit, putted down the maize he had on the table. Her wife noted that he had came back, she quickly ran out from the kitchen in joy. The sincere and honest joy, was given to her husband. Maize was a luxury to them. Mr. Esfahani expected all of this since the last time he brought home maize was weeks ago. But that was not about it. The most amazing thing can happen to a family; she was pregnant. Mr. Esfahani was ecstatic to have his first child even though all the bad things that had happened to his family and even though they themselves had problem supporting their lives.

Ahmed Esfahani, 2 years old, Tehran, Iran.
Since moving out from Karaj, they had been living a better life. Not much had improved but at least they do not need to worry about hunger any more. His wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy two years ago after they moved to Tehran, the capital of Iran. The baby boy was named Ahmed, meaning 'one who constantly thanks God'. ..
