It’s almost unreal – we were on our way to an evening party with the DAAD (The German Academic Exchange Service). We found what we thought was the house – except that there were two people with the same name on the street! So after we were in the garden, we found out 10 minutes later or so we were in the wrong place.

But so was the Afghan Minister of Higher Education! His deputy invited us to take a lift in the guard’s car, and there you are, second day in Kabul, being escorted by the minister’s guards. Then we arrived at Ms. Zerwinsky’s house (head of the DAAD) and who has greatly helped AIESEC here, and joined the guests. Kinda challenging networking when so many people are speaking languages that you don’t understand, how do you know when it’s your turn to speak when you can’t understand the language? I guess it’s my turn to learn more languages.

All in all seemed like a pretty cool evening, I got to know a fair few people and get a better idea of what it’s like working here in Kabul for AIESEC.

So now it’s time to keep going on the training materials, finish off the one remaining session and start to build a full local information pack for parties interested in AIESEC in Afghanistan so that we can start upscaling the partnerships. And we can start the exchange process and getting some forms in. So Khodah Hafiz for now, time to get some rest.
