Thank you for putting it on the web! I am a grad student in DC studying International Development, and as summer is approaching, I am trying to figure out where I should go for my summer internship. I heard from an NGO in Kabul saying I can work with them...and now as the prospect of going seems more real, I am trying read more about what it is like there. I'm wondering most I guess about security, espcially given the increase in violence in border regions. Also, you mentioned in one of your entries about being a development worker, but not really being able to interact with the local community. That is one thing that has been on my mind a lot lately. What exactly is your contact like with the local population? A main reason for me to go into this line of work is to work directly with the people I am working with, but I am hearing that that may not always be possible in insecure enviornments.<BR/>Anyways, thank you again, and if you have sometime, feel free to write me a message, I'd love to hear more about what it is really like there as I decide whether to really come in a few months time.<BR/>My email address is pinejct81@hotmail.com<BR/><BR/>MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
