The Pakistanis and Afghans are resilient people and I have also seen some of the children manage to educate themselves while laboring away. Ideally I would like to see all children, including girls, finish school.

Ariana – Pakistan is high on my list of next visits – I really need to get back to that part of the world. Closest I’ve been was to the Pakistan / India border for the changing of the guard ceremony. Solomon has been fortunate to have traveled extensively in this part of the world over many years. Thanks for stopping by.

I’ve never been to Pakistan, but have relatives who live there. It always seemed like a terrible place to me as a kid, but now I’d like to see it for myself. On the issue of child labor, that’s something I came across in Afghanistan. It’s unfortunate that these kids have to work, but often they are the only able-bodied ones in the family. Some of them still managed to go to school, and I have to say – they are alot smarter than any kids I’ve met in the west. Hopefully things get better for future generations.
