Movie Stars and DJs

Another fine day at Cure! 

There is a new nurse wondering about.  He sports a fine head of lustrous curls.  Now, I thought nothing of it given that Afghan men are very particular about their hair, and openly admire the hair of other men.  Even when being picked up at the airport  the security adviser, Aman,  advised me to find the driver by "look for the tall man with nice hair". 
So back to the new nurse.  It turns out he is an Afghan TV actor who is here to make some money on the side!  Who knew?? 

The team from K-Love radio has arrived - exhausted of course as it is a long flight.  They seem very very nice, and have generated a ton of support from American listeners.  We had burritos for dinner!  With lots and lots of cilantro  (sorry Es)

Safe travels J & E   :)   It will be nice to have you back in Canada eventhough I hear that winter is still hanging about.
Here too!  See: 



On a completely different note,
Here are some photos from the women awaiting fistula repair surgery:



Their lives are about to be transformed!  I am so excited for them.

I also took a couple of pics of hospital rooms for you, just so you can get an idea of what it is like. 



Another bit of Afghan culture?
This is cute....
Dr Jerry tells everyone that his son has called him to say that he is engaged.
The Afghans reply "you mean that you called him to tell him he is engaged, right?"


My heart goes out to everyone who is getting hurt by fear and hate.  Peace is a better way.
