In December 2011, Afghan Wireless Communication Company (AWCC) confirmed that international pop music sensation Valy Hedjasi, a native of Afghanistan, has agreed to serve as the telecommunications company’s Brand Ambassador. According to both parties, the pairing is a good fit. Valy remembers growing up with a mobile phone on the AWCC network and recalls how important it was for him to be able to connect with his friends so easily. AWCC shares in the national pride of Valy, who has seen success in the international music scene.

Breaking into pop music with his singles “Delama Shekoondi” and “Bia Tu” from his first album, After Love, Valy Hedjasi went on two international tours, one in 2007 and one in 2008, that spanned four continents. In February 2011, Valy released his second album, Crazy In Love, which has also garnered critical acclaim in Afghanistan and abroad.

AWCC plans to make Valy’s music widely available to his fan base in Afghanistan through concerts, special appearances, and AWCC customer appreciation events. Furthermore, the company will offer Valy ringback tones and music downloads, as well as free promotional songs by the pop singer. AWCC reported in December that Valy has made plans to return to Afghanistan in the near future for a tour and to join the company for some significant announcements.

Founded by entrepreneur and philanthropist Ehsan Bayat, AWCC provides mobile network services to 4 million residents of Afghanistan. As Chairman, Ehsan Bayat has led the company to become Afghanistan’s leading provider of telecommunications services and one of the country’s largest private employers.

Under the leadership of Chairman Ehsan Bayat, The Bayat Foundation has worked to purchase and distribute supplies to individuals and families across Afghanistan to help them survive this year’s uncharacteristically severe winter. Mr. Bayat accompanied members of the foundation to the provinces of Kunduz, Jawzjan, Faryab, and Balkh, as well as Sheberghan City, Maimana City, and the Hilmand Refugee Camp in Kabul. In each of these places, volunteers distributed food, shoes, blankets, wood for heat, and warm clothing, such as coats and gloves. Despite dangerous winter road conditions, the foundation also brought in ambulances and medical personnel to treat people suffering from illnesses or other effects of the harsh weather.

When interviewed about his organization’s recent efforts under the Winter Aid Program, Ehsan Bayat expressed gratitude for the opportunity he and his team had to assist Afghans during these difficult times. “Most of all,” he said, “we are thankful to see the hope of a better tomorrow in the eyes of those we have been able to help so far.”

While assisting volunteers during the recent aid initiative, Ehsan Bayat arranged a meeting with Ustad Atta Mohammad Noor, the honorable Governor of Balkh Province. During their meeting, Mr. Bayat promised to contribute 5 million Afghanis toward the construction of a Mosque in Mazar Sharif City. When built, the Mosque will stand as the largest in the entire country.
