When I got on the plane at SFO, I had no idea what to expect. I landed in Kabul with a suitcase full of donated medical supplies, a mixture of relief and uncertainty Kabul feels like a completely different world. Through my internship with HEEDA, I have the opportunity to experience what it means to get work done in a challenging setting. Excited to learn and take this for what it is- an opportunity of a lifetime.
