Fly Kites Not Drones is a creative non-violence project for young people. At its heart is the true story of Aymel, a boy who never really knew his father because of a drone strike. Teachers and anyone who works with young people can find resources here to learn about human rights and the effect of armed drones in the skies above us. A kite in the sky is a beautiful sight wherever you are. Whether pieced together from bin bags and
string, or manufactured with high-tech fibres, when we see a kite fly, part of
us flies with it. The lives of the people holding the string can be very
different, however. In Afghanistan, the perfect blue skies children would use
to fly kites are feared because they are also perfect for armed drones.
