There are few things in life worth the struggle of 30 hours through airports and plane rides. However, from the first step off the Kam Air flight onto Kabul soil, I realized at that moment, there was nowhere else I would rather be.
We were able to enjoy the reliable good laugh at the subtleties that occur at the airport in Kabul (my favorite part is how they ram your bags through an x-ray machine on your way out of the airport, and nobody's looking at the screen to boot). After a car ride through the city, which has come a tremendous way through the rebuilding process, we finally arrived at the school to see good friends and rest from our travels.
This morning we are all rested and ready to get to work. We ate breakfast with a woman who is involved with 22 different small businesses location throughout Central Asia. It was encouraging to hear about her work and gain perspective from her success and struggles alike. The sky is indeed the limit with the type of work that could be done here. As always, we are asking for clarity and wisdom in regards to the part we should play.
We believe our niche and gifting lends toward the development of language training centers throughout the Middle East, Central Asia, and China. If all goes according to plan, we will begin the process with our first in Kabul this week!
