Bpeace in Afghanistan in July

Athena and Kate arrived in Kabul today. Wendy arrived yesterday.

And then there were three.

It is a measure of our organization that we came despite several days of Kabul bomb attacks. Yeh, we hesitated. Yeh, we asked everyone we knew (Toni's magic rolodex). But the work awaits us here. It is making an impact and it shouldn't wait. So we came. Bravo to the hard work of every Afghan team member that Bpeace is needed here.

And you know what? Kam Air had children on the flight. Real Afghan children with backbacks coming back from holiday. Headed home to Kabul. Like anywhere else in the world. Then, feet on the ground, anxieties are gone among the chatter of welcomes and a quick gasp at the heat. And an hour later, over a security briefing with Najib and our new guide Khalid, we are better prepared than any mission team before to deal with adversity . . .so the mission begins . . .more postings and PICTURES ahead we promise . . . maybe even one of the cafe scene here at the happening Kabul City Center.

oh and as for kharma . . .we are carrying a wide variety of talismans given by friends and family . . .you are with us always.
