Immortal Technique returns from a two-week expedition in Afghanistan, where he assisted with the final construction of the Amin Institute, an orphanage, school and medical facility. He made this promised prior to his 2008 album release of, "The 3rd World", and called this The Green Light Project. In conjunction with Omied International, Immortal Technique acquired the property of the institute, food, clothing, appliances, beds for the children, medical supplies and the infrastructure of the school by raising funds at benefit concerts and his very own personal monetary donation. His travels was filmed and documented by long-time friend, C. Stuart, for a movie based on Immortal Technique's revolutionary work. A more detailed account of his experience will be featured in an upcoming issue of The Source Magazine.
"You know, there are always cynics who cannot see anything but their own inability to succeed in anything besides a 'cleverly written' denigration of anyone else's hard work while being unable to produce any example of their own. But if you forget your own ego for a minute, this is the proof that ordinary people like us, who work through problems and fight through set backs can succeed. And not only that, we can succeed anywhere. I say again, WE can succeed." – Immortal Technique
