Thank you, everyone. Jawed is such a great guy, and he is now struggling to get paragliding registered here as an official sport, so he can get funding from the government. As I'm sure you'll imagine, this is a tough process, especially here in Afghanistan, where paragliding is not much of a priority. The sad thing is, even though he has graduated from school with a major in economics, he can't find work. Unfortunately, this is an endemic problem for an entire generation of Afghans. But watching him soar, it certainly does give me hope for the future of the country, and I'm glad to share his story.

It's fantastic to see people who love what they do, doing it regardless of what is happening around them. I'd love to get out there and maybe explore the country with him. If you can please email him this link.
