Stuffing It All In


Bpeacers are getting to be experienced Afghan travelers. Back in 2004 when we fielded our first mission, we worried about what clothes to pack so that we would conform to local customs and not show an extra inch of ankle or neck. Now that we have ongoing relationships with the 20 Afghan businesswomen who are associates in our program, we instead stress about how are we going to fit all the training tools and quality-of-life gifts into our back-breaking rollaways.

"How to Finance Your Buisiness" is just one of the training decks and videos we have been developing for the past 6 months that we will preview during this mission. There will be several training DVDs for each of our assoicates, nestled in someone's luggage next to the BenGay for Suria, the time management book requested by Neelab, the moisterizer creme requested by our guide Najib for his wife, and the 30 boxes of Crayola crayons, just a small part of a huge donation by Binney & Smith.

So please return to this blog on or about April 17th, and live and laugh this new Bpeace Afghan mission with us. Get aquainted with our Afghan associates all over again, and take in the evolving Afghanistan through the talented eys and lens of our own Paula Lerner.

By now, you're underway, and I must confess to a sense of envy and awe at your courage and intrepid curiousity. Stay well, keep us posted and remember we're thinking about you all.
Much love,

Hats off to all you fabulous women and men, Bpeacers from the US and mentorees and guides in Afghanistan. What a thrilling and exciting adventure. It is exactly what the world needs right now, extended friendship and sharing between countries. I'm loving reading about this and am enjoying it vicariously. Be well, peace, love, Lee Bartell
 
It is such a pleasure to see Bakhtnazira's sucess and her new shop in Kabul. From the moment when she was interviewed in her old apartment surrounded by her kids and her unemployed husband to this moment of sucess and opportunity created by Bpeacers, time passed so quickly, yet it must have been very busy and productive. Bravo! PBeace delivered what they promissed two years agoo and I want to send my gratitude on behalf of the people of Afghanistan.
