Settling In

Written 5-18

The trip here was a bit hectic but thankfully uneventful.  Khorogh has changed a bit but most everything is the same.  The people seem to be carrying on as always but they also have stories from the past year.  The fighting touched the core of this small town and the wound has not yet healed.

Masrur and Abdulnazar were very eager to begin when I arrived and I hardly had a day to move into an apartment.  We have begun looking at the books and reports from our first year and a half in operation.  We have also had a number of planning meetings about the next several years.  In all we have had a very productive first few days and I am very excited about the next two weeks as we set targets for the coming year, edit our course material, and meet with different parties who will be able to help us to do an even better job helping the people.
