There is a lot going on. We've got three separate 16-room girl's schools under construction, and three basic health clinics being built. On top of this we've been able to refurbish and upgrade numerous existing schools. Hopefully when the children of Farah, Afghanistan remember the American soldiers that were here, they'll remember all the good things we've tried to do.
I've started working with the local Mullahs to help refurbish and upgrade some of the local mosques. The people of Farah are very religious and listen to the Mullahs. Hopefully, if they see us supporting their places of worship and working with their spititual leaders, they will be more likely to think of us as friends instead of enemies.
