Nightly pest patrol

Ryan's late night mosquito hunt.  It's cool, he usually wins and there is only a moderate to low malaria risk here in Kabul.

Guarding the Truth @Mikrorayon Park


The most ironic thing about this shot is that having a dude with a machine gun stand guard makes the booth seem safe and inviting in Afghanistan. Everything is about security here. He was one of five in our security contingent.

Jaleel explaining the Truth to the people


Jaleel is our Truth Booth floor manager and general overall stud. Here he's telling the onlookers about the booth and signing them up to participate. No way we could pull this off without him and the 1TV crew.

“There is a road to the top of even the highest mountain”

A Dari Proverb we are finding very fitting (inspirational?) to describe the last few days. Unable to get the proper security permits at our selected locations, we've been grounded for two days now and losing our minds. Our lock, Kabul University, backed out fearing the Truth Booth will incite student riots!
