Well my plan to find WiFi has not really worked out so no pictures. I am able to borrow a laptop occasionally so I will be able to post a bit here.
We've met a number of times and it is pretty exciting to see how our project is really changing lives. Just today we met with a man who was able to draw up a business plan and borrow enough money to open a meat shop here in Khorogh. He has been wildly successful due to his innovation of having refridgerated meat instead of just hanging it up in the sun. He has his own "ranch" up in the highlands and speciallizes in selling Yak meat which is very tasty.
Now he is planning on expanding his business to hire other families and to produce more and better quality meat for the people of this area. This means less imported from outside the region so that the money that is here can stay here and better the peoples lives.
I will be able to post a picture of our friend and will be able to tell you more in the future about his families Yak ranch and butcher shop.
