“The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.”

This is the new motto for my team in Kabul. It is this attitude that pulled me away from my life in the US and brought me back to Afghanistan. The sense of the possible is palpable. It must be something like the sense that drew early immigrants to the United States. The feeling that with a little luck and a lot of hard work, you can really do something amazing!

The challenge before is to integrate several teams into one unit, they are:

• Design, Monitoring & Evaluation (DM&E)
• Information Technology (IT)
• Communications / Reporting
• Management Information Systems (MIS)
