		<description>Hello Vicky,

What an asset you are to the improving development in Afghanistan. Your blog is informative and objective yet I can clearly hear the immense passion you have for the work you are doing in Helmand. If some of the hyperbole that appears in our national newspapers (and I&#039;m speaking for Australian newspapers) could be replaced by your kind of writing - the rest of us would get a clearer understanding of the terrific work our governments are doing in a very difficult part of the world.

Look after yourself Vicky, Helen xx</description>

		<description>Hi Vicky,

Excellent blog - it&#039;s interesting to read about the real situation in Helmand and it&#039;s encouraging that, despite all the security issues, it is possible for you to talk directly with Helmandis and get a sense of what they feel about the situation.  I imagine that real, sustainable change is going to take a long time to achieve and hope that those with power and influence in the world remain committed to improving the lives of Afghanis, who have suffered so much over the last 30 (or more?) years.

Stay safe, Pete</description>
