School Days

Thursday, we headed to a local school to donate all the supplies that we have received from our families and friends. It was a wonderful day away from work. We had a limited number of spots available, so they gave priority to the service members that helped sort the supplies and those that coordinated donations from home. So your donations gave me an opportunity to get away from work and help a girl's school. THANK YOU!

This is the main school building from the outside.

Every building has a picture of President Karzi


The director of the school is the woman on the left with the tan head scarf. Her staff is standing beside her. The gentlemen in the blazer is our interpreter.


Here I am handing out a bag of school supplies.


This is the group that came from my command to pass out the supplies.

And of course we have to have tea! They served us in the teacher's lounge. Even as a 34 year old, I'm still scared of the teacher's lounge!
