Following my annual July talk with the Bigfork Rotary club in Montana I met Wendy Ochs, pastor of the United Methodist Church, where the rotary club luncheons are held. That led to an invitation for another presentation: details are below. Note that it's 7 pm Mountain Time.

It will be streamed live on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrKM7aDzVcIF04L6gp6HuGQ) enabling me to share what is happening in Afghanistan and with Trust in Education. Listen in if you can. If you can't that night, I think it will be accessible through Youtube thereafter. 

I appreciate all the emails expressing concern and offers of additional financial support. I've been telling people to hold off for now. People and organizations shouldn't be asking for money at this point. No one knows what the future will bring in Afghanistan. The banks are finally opening. But, Basir spent five hours in line the other day and didn't get inside. In addition, they are limiting withdrawals to $200 per person.

I do think there will come a day when I can once again seek financial support. When that day arrives I'll let everyone know.
