Howard and Monica, Mongolia, write; We helped start the NOOR eye work in Afghanistan in 1966. It has continued faithfully in the years since. A couple of weeks ago they went on an eye camp in Badakhshan NE Afghanistan amongst the high mountains. Returning after the eye camp, their jeeps were caught by the Taliban,
ten of their members were killed mostly foreigners. We were the first to go to this area for eye camps and have worked closely since, Tom Little was amongst those killed, he  had worked with NOOR since 1974! Remember his widow Libby.
