Hey Everyone,
We have now been in Taloqan for 4 days now and it is going well. After settling into both ours and Shelter For Life's (SFL) newly construced room, we are starting to get into the swing of what we will be doing during our 2-month stent here. Carrie has been monitoring a hygiene program that is run by Care for Afghan Families (CAF) becuase they are the sub-contractors that SFL hired on to carry through the project. Yesterday I went out to a local village to look at the progress, and discuss what is going to happen, with 4 bridges that are being built. The current bridges consist of logs, mud and grass with mud filled bags on each side as supports. The new bridges will be concrete, entirely. These bridges are between 10-15' long and are generally 5' above the water.
Here are some pictures of our drive through the Hindukush moutain range, there is a more specific name however I dont know it and I much less know how to spell it.
talk to you later
