I am Ramazan Khan 32 a citizen of Kabul City Afghanistan. I am a journalist by profession but I have never been working as a journalist so far, I hope one day I am working as a journalist. I am an Afghan of Hazara ethnic. For me all Afghan ethnics are brothers of each others. The Hazaras are the third largest ethnic group in Afghanistan.

I had been employee of International Committee of the Red Cross, The ICRC in Afghanistan for about 9 years (1997-2005). I had been working for this International and humanitarian organization in different fields like Translator, Assistant, Database manger, and Information technician.

ICRC is founded by Henri Dunant, In 1859 when the Swiss businessman Henri Dunant (1828-1910) visited the northern Italian battlefield of Solferino and was deeply affected by the impact of war on the lives and dignity of both combatant and civilian. The memoir he wrote, A Memory of Solferino, inspired the 1863 founding of the International Committee of the Red Cross, The ICRC.

The main mandate of the ICRC is to assist war victims through its humanitarian projects like detainees protection and assistance, Water and sanitation development in war affected regions, Hospitals supports, Mine awareness campaign, Food distribution to vulnerable and etc... . The ICRC is protecting dignity and reputation of people and war victims.

I am really proud that I have been employee of such a nice humanitarian organization for almost 9 years.

Since 2006 I have started my new job as Geographic Information System (GIS) assistant for United Nations Development Program UNDP for its AIMS project in Afghanistan Kabul. My job is working with GIS maps. I enjoy my job and it is getting interesting for me.

AIMS is Afghanistan Information Management System, It is a UNDP project for competency and capacity building of Afghan staffs. AIMS mandate is to deliver high-quality information management services and products to increase government's effectiveness, performance and capacity. AIMS is trying to develop a skilled national information management systems workforce throughout Afghanistan. One of the major goals of AIMS is to develop GIS and MIS capacity in the Afghan Government. AIMS have been conducting a series of workshops and seminars for awareness of GIS and its benefits to government and humanitarian community.

In brief AIMS is introducing the update technology to Afghan Ministry staffs and humanitarian communities and train them to make them capable to put these knowledge into practice in their Ministries and organizations and take an active portion in building up a nice Afghanistan.
