Today we were very tired because we were up late doing the Vine Video Conference; but it was worth it. We went to two clinics near Istalef today. At both of these clinics, we delivered medical supplies that were donated from friends back home. We also asked the doctors there what they needed the most. The main clinic in Istalef was very cool because Istalef was completely destroyed during the reign of the Taliban. It was good to see that the city was being rebuilt again and that trees and grass was growing again. Each clinic was the dirtiest places that I have ever seen. There were water puddles through the hallways and there were patches of stucco coming off of the walls. But, they were still operational and had lines of people coming to try to get help. I still just could not believe how unsterile these clinics were, each one was hot and I couldn’t imagine how anyone could get well there. But, they are managing and are living with the best that they have. Each staff member was so proud of what they had, they wanted to show us around and let us see everything. It was definitely an experience.
The ex-King of Afghanistan has died today and the current President has declared a 3 day period of mourning. There are different names that the people called him; such as Grandpa, daddy, and Uncle. Through the streets, there was extra security everywhere because of all the dignitaries that were coming into town.
