Bpeace in Afghanistan

The Bpeace mission team members are back in our own beds.

Much was accomplished during this mission.

Once again Bpeacers made the connection to women (and men) far from our homes and left an impression. We think it’s a good one. A new voice for peace cutting the divide of culture and distance. The voice sounded the word “opportunity”.

And once again the future of Afghanistan was at our doorstep asking to join as the next generation of Bpeace associates. When scores showed up for business training, we knew that our reputation preceded us.

We are in the midst of debriefs with the entire Afghanistan team. In the coming months we will be working to develop and implement actions plans with each associate and their mentors based upon our first hand work this December. Importantly we are also using our learnings to continue the evolution and improvement of our mentoring and training programs, even birthing a new funding model and a business consulting support system to compliment them. Stay tuned.

In the meantime we are tired and happy to be with family once again but miss our friends and associates in Afghanistan. We wonder . . . just what are they doing right now? Is Najib stuck in another vicious Kabul traffic jam? Is the snow falling yet in Kabul? Is Rosemary still making spaghetti for the US military? April will call us back to find out
