My Last Visit – Afghanistan<\/h1>\n

Having been Sheltered@Home for the past month, I thought I\u2019d share a personal memory of my last visit to Afghanistan.<\/h4>\n

In 2003 while Diane and I were living In Fremont, CA, aka Little Kabul, we embarked on a Rebuilding \u00a0Afghanistan Project with the assistant of the Afghan Coalition\/Afghan Expats in the Bay Area and with our U.S.A.I.D Friends.<\/p>\n

With the Taliban pushed out of Afghanistan and sponsorship from IRI Research Institute, Stamford, CT, I spent the month of March 2003 (Now Roz) working with the Minister of Finance, Ashraf Ghani, and other Ministers on IRI Research Institute\u2019s role in their rebuilding effort.<\/p>\n

Our effort was short-lived with the beginning of War in Iraq.<\/p>\n

This was my last visit to Afghanistan and with your permission here is a 2 minute 28 second memory of Afghanistan March 2003.<\/p>\n
