Following a successful program in Karshi, Uzbekistan the Health Expo team was given the opportunity to travel to the border city of Termiz.  Termiz is located across from Afghanistan on the Amu-Darya River.  Health Officials graciously provided the  team with the best hall in town - shown above.

The road to Termiz was long and dusty with an occasional site like this one - an elderly shepherd  on his mule.

Generations of hard work in the sun mark this old woman's face, a face so interesting and so needy to learn of God's love.

Clay buildings like these are an ordinary sight in "kishlaks" (local villages) that are outside city limits.
