Lionel Messi charity 'aims to fulfill Afghan child's dream'

seen wearing a striped plastic bag with the football superstar's name and number scrawled in blue ink, was found in Afghanistan last week.
The Afghan Football Federation has told CNN that Messi's charitable foundation is trying to set up a meeting between the five-time world player of the year and his biggest fan.
Messi's club Barcelona has also told CNN it would be willing to help -- but stressed any such meeting would be down to the player and his management.
"I love Messi, I love him very much," Murtaza told CNN from his family's farm in Jaghori, southwest of Kabul.
    Murtaza Ahmadi holds the plastic bag that made him famous. His father, Arif Ahmadi, told CNN the five-year-old's brother made it for him when he wouldn't stop crying. "I told him that we were living in a poor village far from the city and it was impossible for me to get him the shirt," his father said.

    Asked about becoming an internet sensation, he added: "The whole people in the world know me now."
    "The impact of the reports about my son has been positive and has inspired me," Murtaza's father, Arif Ahmadi, told CNN. "My biggest hope is to have a football stadium in our district. That is my biggest dream."
    Ahmadi said he would be "upset" if his son doesn't get to meet Messi -- "because he really loves him."
    Murtaza had started asking his father for a Messi jersey, Ahmadi said.
    "I told him that we were living in a poor village far from the city and it was impossible for me to get him the shirt," he added.
    "He kept crying for days asking for the shirt until his brother Hamayon helped him make one from the plastic bag to make him happy.
    "He stopped crying after wearing that plastic bag shirt."
    Images posted to Hamayon's Facebook page show a smiling Murtaza wearing the bag and appearing to dance.

    Search for the 'Messi boy'

    Internet users started searching for the mystery boy in mid-January when a Leo Messi fan account on Twitter posted an image of him wearing a plastic "Messi" bag.
    The photo showed him only from the back -- a small boy with a buzz cut wearing a brown knitted sweater -- with a message that read: "A kid in Iraq ..." It included an emoji of a breaking heart.Suu Kyi takes power

      Bara Bangal: A Himalayan village on the path of Alexander the Great

      Image
      Bara Bangal, India (CNN) To the naked eye, the terraced fields seem close enough to touch: hardly four kilometers as the crow flies. But in the ancient way of Himalayan travel, they're still 20 switchback roads and several torturous hours away. My blistered feet and the blighted weather have been my companion since I began my trek five days ago from Manali sanctuary in the same northern Indian state, Himachal Pradesh. But that doesn't matter anymore. I'll make it to Bara Bangal -- a village wrapped in legend, sandwiched between the Kalihani (4,800 meters) and Thamsar (4,766 meters) Passes, protected by impregnable mountains on the third side and the raging Ravi River on the fourth. A village hidden from the world If Google's the yardstick for measuring how much is known about our world, this village would rank pretty low.
