National Geographic

You may not know that Allan had the opportunity to work in Afghanistan last winter. He was chosen by the residency director along with friend and fellow resident Steven Durocher to work in Kabul. They saw some patients, but their main job was to help teach and train Afghan Doctors. One night while they were out eating a National Geographic photographer took their picture. He was there doing a story on NGO's (non-governmental organizations) doing relief work in a war torn region. We filed that away in the back of our mind and asked my parents who get Nat. Geo to keep an eye out. Well this morning we recieved a call from Rob, a friend in Greenwood, who had seen it while flipping through magazines at the store. We called and had mom look on page 36 and when she got there her expression was....."that's Allan!" She scanned and sent the page to us and here it is. I am sure it breaks all kind of copyright laws to post it on the blog. When discussing blogging it, Emily said, "Isn't that illegal?" Will's response..."Not in this country!" He has really begun to fit in well with Filipino society. Well illegal or not hope you enjoy seeing Al in the magazine.
