Hi Globies – hope you all had a good Happy Thanksgiving! We have
another great slide shows coming up for January 10th!
Michael Luongo will be talking about Rebuilding the Ruins of
Afghanistan – from women who work at re-opened museums to hunky gym rats who
worship Arnold Schwarzenegger. Afghanistan has changed in the 2 years
since the ousting of the Taliban. A lot more work needs to be done, but new
buildings rise from the rubble to punctuate the Kabul skyline, archeological
initiatives are helping tourism, and wheelchair programs are giving mine
victims a new chance in life. See the Afghanistan you never read about in
the papers. We'll look at what there is to see as a tourist in Kabul
and we'll also touch on travel to other Islamic hotspots like Jordan,
Turkey and Morocco
Venue: as always 4:00-5:30 The Wings Theater 154 Christopher Street.
$10.00 for non-members and $8.00 for members.
