I’ve been to Kabul 5 times in the past 2 years and have to go back before too long. The more you think about it the harder it is. I’ve visited some of the same NGO’s you have mentioned. Unfortunately we will be there for the long haul…..

“I see them on the streets now and then; they glare at us, and I make stupid faces at them. I laugh, they do not.”

There are many problems in Afghanistan, and often no solutions. But when you feed ignorance, you only perpetuate existing problems. This leaves the people who are still working to create solutions in an even deeper ditch.

I don’t blame you for wanting to leave Afghanistan. But for the time you have left, please don’t give the Afghan people or the Taliban more reason to hate foreigners. There is no quick-fix, but please don’t make the journey longer for the rest of us who are dedicated to something more, even if you can’t see it now.

I am so happy that you are leaving that disaster area especially because you found yourself at the point of saying…

“I see them on the streets now and then; they glare at us, and I make stupid faces at them. I laugh, they do not.”

Scary. Kirise would say “Cwistophaaaaaaa, you’re likely to be alive”.

We are all happy you will be safe at home, sitting on a beach, grateful and stoked about life in the US!!
