Novembre

Dear friends,
sometime I wake-up unsured where I'm and to think for a while that I'm at home and my dear mother is behind a wall. It's just few days that I'm in Kandahar and look like I was here from years. It's a magic world full of queer things, last week was rainning after 3 years, and this is the reason that I'm here to drill and rehabilitate wells.
Honestly I've understood that here the main problem is the drinking water but also the water for the crop.... the drought is coming and the land become desert and the people have to move and leave all their belonging....
For the 1st time I've heard the IDP word! Internal Displaced People that are different from refugees or returnees but all of them are the main problem where all are working on! The luck of water come in problem between this different people and of course the NGOs and Local Organization make their job in that field!
The week is a bit shift, saturday is here thursday and the day-off is the friday and of course for muslin reason!
Yesterday for the 1st time I've done interview for some vacancy in my project,it's so strange to think that the future of a person, or of his family, is hanging from a mine decision, but I hope that God can help me in a take the best choice.
To be catholic here make to me a feeling like a camaleonthe in a desert... I try to wear and to look like, outside, like a muslin but inside I'm really proud to be catholic and to listen the Man on the Croix.
So now I thanks to my father that was given to me the book that in italian is calling "Imitazione di Cristo" and in english i suppos "Christ Imitation" but some of you can larify this my doubt!

God bless you

November 2002	Dear friends, i'm in the deep desert of south afghanistan.the life call the sadness and the will of the life is cliode in the hope of a drop of rain. I thought to touch the bottom when I was in Africa. There i opened the eyes to the Love, Africa brought me in the way to the Lord. Oh,God, the world become a stone, an iron slab where the feeling can't not go trought. Here the eyes are hiden and the smile are missing! The sign of the war are always present in the daily life it's icredible that each wall has bullet's hole all over. Some time you see young "soldier" with a rifle in the hand and it's petty that they find their security in a cold iron like us we find our security in the hand of our parents. In this landscape full of sand and sun, dear friend I found a lot of solitude and a challenge to the world that the man is destroying. Someone ask me how is Afghanistan? I reply that in our "normal" life we have a lot of tradition that here are a dream and to live become to survive. The water decide the direction where to move, the war has decided the place where to run away and now many people are faraway from home... the basic equipment for a family is a tent and normally there live 6 person, the wemen are noone and if you ask to open a women school the 1st answer is "what for?" Dear friend I've to finish and I promise to write you from this world and I hope you will pray for me and will write back!
