Most Afghans can't read or write their own langauge. Most can't speak it properly; like us American's. Me included in this!!  Most Afghans don't know the days of the week, months within a year.
So if you ask a Afghan when did this happen? Better, when were you born? How can he answer you?
BTW - I really hate people putting January as that enter date for DOB, ETC.
BLUF - How does a Afghan tell time?
Why is this important with VSO? Why is it important period for that matter? |
DOB,January 26 1937...........

Most others I know in SF experienced something similar. If, as you say, you HAVE searched and read, and you do not KNOW if this is the path for you --- it is not....
