from Greenbelt to Pakistan...
Thursday, August 31, 2006
It's a quick turn around! Flying to Pakistan tomorrow evening with a team of 5 others to visit the diocese of Peshawar and the Peshawar youth interfaith forum, before travelling into the mountains to see the relief work in the earthquake affected areas and then onto the capital, Islamabad, where we'll spend time with ICAN (Islamabad Christians Against Narcotics) - a drug awareness and rehab project. It's going to be a great 3 week cross-cultural encounter and I'm really looking forward to it, especially to revisiting Peshawar where I lived and worked 14 years ago, but life is all a bit mad at the moment!If time allows I'll try to visit an internet cafe at 2 or 3 points and blog some reflections as we're going. If not, I'll be back at the end of September!

All good wishes, Malcolm! Fly well.
...And looking forward to working with you on Spirited Exchanges - have contacted the folks on my table at the seminar, so hopefully by the time SE takes its next step I'll have some news to share with you from Whitley Bay.
Great to see you after all those years.
