This is the High School in Kabul where we work.

A view inside of the school. All of the floors look similar to this. On the walls of the school are framed portraits of Arab poets and short blurbs about them.

Instead of running our normal after-school activities this past wednesday, our students took us around to tour their village. We split into two groups, each with three of us Workshoppers, and headed off to see the village.

As we were walking through the village, a whole group of young children joined up with us.

Dara and two of our students.

After the tour of Kabul, we all returned to the school were Ibtisan and the students made the absolute best tabouli any of us have ever had.

Lots of shiny, ice-cream producing machinery!

Caren Minkoff, our Madricha, at the hand-sanitizing station.

We donned the factory equivalent of lab-coats and silly red hats and lined up to enter the production floor.

Inside the confrence room they gave us free ice-cream (SO GOOD!) and told us about their history, ice-cream in Israel, and the manufacturing process.

Shabbat dinner.

An outside view of the Straus ice-cream factory!
