We Felt their Kindliness

Rebecca and Osborne Cresson lived in Afghanistan for 2 years with their daughter, Wetherill (8) and son, Os (7). Osborne taught math in high school and Rebecca taught elementary school. they believed that a practical way to build world peace is for families to go and live among people whose ways differ from their own. While teaching and homemaking, visiting and traveling, Osborne recorded the scene with a camera and Rebecca with pen and paper. This is a glimpse of the Afghan people, only a few years after their country started to admit foreigners. Although the materials are over 50 years old, the culture described is still present in Afghanistan today.
