We are back at PARSA...

Norm and I arrived back here in Kabul three weeks ago to a whirlwind of activity, two lovely volunteers, Susan Moodie who has come to train our staff in how to incorporate yoga into our rehabilitation programs, and Rosemary Jeffcott, ateacher here in the 70's who speaks Dari and will be traveling to Panjab to distribute household goods to poor households. Dawn has been doing an incredibel job of revamping our financial systems and supporting the directors.
Pictures here are of Yasin Farid, our new Director-in-Training, with his wife, Salia and son Osman. Yasin has know Mary for over 10 years and is a physiotherapist by training. He has been running the physiotherapy clinic and is learning how to manage all of PARSA. He started work when he was twelve as it was during the war-and his father had to go into hiding. Yasin supported his family for years until Dad could start working again. Ironically, his wife Salia, spent two years in the orphanage that we just started working in...Allahodin, and some of the teachers still remember her. Of course, young son, Osman. He is simply one of the most compassionate Afghan men that I have met. We are all invited to dinner with Salia on Wednesday.
