We invited all of the young Afghan workers we
hired and their uniformed Afghan bosses for a New Year’s Eve lunch at the
cafeteria and then a challenge Volleyball Game in the Gym. For those that didn’t know, the Afghans love
volleyball and play it often. They
spanked us quite handily in the summer, now we wanted to show them that we
could hold our own. We pushed so much
food on them at lunch hoping to make them unable to play, but alas they were
ready. We played three games and lost
them all, but the camaraderie was there and we had a great time. We helped build this fine functioning team
for the betterment of the Ministry, and from their performance to date, they
will do just fine. I gave my counterpart a silver and lapis set of worry beads
and he gave me and my team a gold-plated candy dish (whose velvet case smelled
like dung). Maybe there is a message in
there somewhere.
They love lunch at our cafeteria
