The day began as previous days have: breakfast together in the community dining room with our hosts, then ESL lessons with ladies in their homes and men in their classrooms.
We had lunch together at the Holy Land restaurant, a great place with generous servings. They gifted us with honey cake and big cups of black tea with fresh mint leaves before we left.
We formed a fairly efficient method for signing thank you cards for people who blessed us during this trip, then headed off to a mosque that Peter Wadel had arranged for us to visit.
Our Muslim contact was gracious and welcoming to us. He answered as many of our questions as he had time for before he left to teach a children’s class. We were allowed to observe the class.
We drove back across town in golden rush hour to Alight. Our friends arranged for ARC to use this space to host a meal made by an Afghan for Afghan friends and students of the ARC team. Over 25 adults and children joined us for the very special meal. Everyone seemed to have someone to talk with and it was difficult to tear ourselves away.
