Dear Bpeacers---
Rohullah Balkhi and his partners manage our Fast Runners in Afghanistan. 

We can't do our work without talented staff on the ground, and here's a chance to meet one of them.

 

AFGHAN PROGRAM MANAGER ROHULLAH BALKHI WILL BE IN NEW YORK CITY JUNE 22-26

 

Balkhi and his partners at 3D Consulting Company in Mazar-i-Sharif manage the Bpeace Fast Runner program in Afghanistan.

 

Thanks to Bpeacers Platte Moring and Pam Varkony, Balkhi will be participating in the Global Village for Future Leaders of Business and Industry, a five-week program at the campus of Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA.  Personally, I am thrilled to finally meet Balkhi in person after working together virtually for three years!

 

Balkhi will be in New York for a one-week Road Trip prior to starting his program.  Email me if you are interested in any of the following opportunities to meet him, provide some hospitality and learn about Afghanistan.
