I'm an aid worker, trying to do my little bit to leave the world a better place than I found it. This blog sporadically tracks my adventures in various countries, as I try to play my part is the massive venture to Make Poverty History.

Afghanistan

Very very fast one as I am running out the door...
I have arrived! I am in Kabul. For those of you who don't know, I have taken a job in Afghanistan, in Herat, with WV. It is a fantastic job and I am really excited about it. Anyway - I landed in Kabul today (head to Herat tomorrow) after two days of orientation in Dubai. I will write more about it later - now I have to put my headscarfe on (plus shalwar kameez!) and go see the Bombed Out Kings Palace (H can't remember the name of it - that is what she calls it!!) I asked about the history of Kabul, and apparently this is a great place to go.
Kabul is divided in half by mountains and on top of them is a wall built by Genghis Khan - amazing hey?
Will write more later
