CEIM join AIT Team to Afghanistan 8-15 March 2008





Dear All

Dr. BHW Hadikusumo joined AIT Team to Afghanistan. The mission of this business trip was to assess the Departments of Balkh University including the Department of Construction.

We arrived in Kabul on Sunday 9 march and continued 7 hours surface travel to Mazara-e Sharif where Balkh University is located.

During the assessment, we really appreciate the cooperativeness of Balkh University's faculty members who really shared to us their actual situation. AIT will assist them to develop a modern curriculum and lab equipment and help the faculty members to implement the curriculum.

Bad and Good news. On our way back to Bangkok, Dr. Hadi and Dr. Guha (from computer science) went to Kabul Airport on Thursday morning 13 March. The Bad news is just before we arrived at the airport, the airport car park was blasted by suicide car bombing. The good news is i can still write this blogspot which means that we were very lucky that we came quite late to the airport because we enjoyed breakfast and chatting at the hotel and waiting the check-out process. Afghan newspaper reported that 8 people were killed during the massive bombing. This bombing happened just one day after the US Military stated that Afghan government controls only 30% of the territory.

Detail of the news can be read from http://www.afghannews.net/index.php?action=show&type=news&id=2715

By the way, Afghanistan is a very beautiful country with high mountain and snow. From Kabul to Mazar-e Sharif, we passed SALANG, a very beautiful landscape.

I upload the photos for you ....
