Later On

After a bit of time away, we're now back and working in Zhare Dasht. Here are some images of what we've been up to....

Posing after a hard day of kick-boxing Visiting Shirena's house in Zhare Dasht. Watching an impromptu soccer match at school With no teachers and no books, these kids... ... are still taking English classes -- and doing well! Ah, the kick-boxing! Too young to play soccer, but not to watch Kids look on as the IDP elders discuss. Hanging out in the school compound. Watching and waiting. The newly built school wall Leading a heavy debate to name one of our staff. Kids looking on and laughing Kids of Zhare Dasht. Turbans to keep off the mid-day heat in Zhare Dasht. New school inauguration day in Sett. 07. A bit too small for the bike. Looking on as elders discuss. Graduation day for tech skills training. School inauguration day. Waiting to meet the new teachers. Kids waiting for school to start. Sipping cardamon-flavored milk by the stream. Proud fathers at the voc. skills training graduation. Ruins of a 200-year old palace... ... which used to house the former king... ... later destroyed by the Soviets... A market on the Kandahar road. Braving the Kabul cold. Herat offers minarets from the 1400's... ... and a mausoleum from a poet queen.
