Man from Kohistan

Posted by Sojourner (Aqcha, Afghanistan) on 9 December 2007 in People & Portrait.

Visited a cluster of villages recently in an area called 'Kohistan' - mountain land, a 70 km ride through a lot of dust, leading to a hilly area with various small settlements. We have been invited several times to come and assist the communities there and went for a reconnaissance trip. I like the photo of this man (a broad smile!) and will post a picture of one of the villages next to give you an idea of the amazing kind of place these people live in.
