The Joanne King show was on the air 15 years and was rated the 5th most popular TV daytime show in the United States.
Not one to rest on her laurels after helping defeat the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, Joanne was disheartened to see the villages there struggling, and people vulnerable to the reemergence of the Taliban and their poppy fields, among other hardships and brutalities. Ten years ago, she founded a charitable organization, Marshall Plan Charities (MPC), with the mission of building a model village in Afghanistan that was founded with the simultaneous introduction of modern schools, basic health care, clean water, sustainable food sources and real jobs. The dream of this successful, thriving village was realized in Khair Abad in the Shindand District of Herat Province in western Afghanistan. Now, ten years later, not only is Khair Abad a thriving success, it is now the capital of its province.
