The 7th Bpeace Mission Team to Kabul, April 2007, all cleaned up and ready for dinner: Farah, Wendy, Ray, Toni, Khatera, Marla and Ladan. (Ray has his eyes closed dreaming of chocolate in Dubai.)
Khatera distributing toiletries and candy to Afghan refugees.The mission is starting to wind down. Khatera and Ladan gathered up our extra toiletries, power bars and candy and took it over to a refugee camp of about 500 Afghans living marginally with no roof or sanitation. Ray’s Nivia moisturizer cream will help a mother care for the parched skin of her children. Ray’s sunscreen went to a woman who had burns down half her face. Brave Khatera and Ladan distributed something to about 100 people.
A few of us left for Dubai this morning. And a few are staying behind to do some additional work. It was a very good mission. We accomplished all we set out to do and more. Laila has a long list of follow-up activities.
As previous mission teams have said, tell your friends about the progress in Afghanistan. They are a lovely people who want the best for their families. And if you are a friend of Bpeace cruising by this blog, thank you for sharing this journey with us.

Dear ones,
I am so moved by the mission and you -- the team. What a wonderful group you are -- each with distinct skills that you bring to the people there. And each with big hearts that I know the Afghans you meet can feel. I also know that the experience of being there is one that simultaneosly fills you up and exhausts you. You get so much more than you give. And now it's time to come home and rest. And then, of course, there is the follow-up!
The relationships that you are cultivating and nurturing are what will make our work there successful and last for a very long time.
Sending love to you all.
