Not in Charikar...

I was unhappy to read this.  The people of this city (and, of course, all Afghanistan) do not deserve to have this happen.

I did spend more time at the orphanage than the governor's office:

The provincial governor is someone I had met in his old job - Kabul province police chief:

I remember when meeting him, his biggest concern at the time was for his son, who needed an operation to possibly save his hearing.  We did only a little professional work - mostly concerned with Kabul roads linking to Parwan province.
