Afghanistan. His dream was to turn the mountains and skiing into a means of promoting health, leisure, happiness and gender equality in a society that is depressed and weighed down by conflict.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A potential Olympian, ski coach and mountain guide, he ran the Bamyan Ski Club for 12 years, which hosted \u2018The Afghan Ski Challenge\u2019. This event brought together participants from different ethnic backgrounds, was open to women, inspired dreams amongst the younger participants, and instilled the values of participation, equality and camaraderie amongst the youth of the valley.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, since the Taliban regime seized power in 2021, Sayed Alishah Farhang has had to flee the country with his wife and two children.
