I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for a rich discussion on Afghanistan and literacy with a special emphasis on women. Specifically, I would like to thank:
- Brenda Bell and her colleagues for taking time out of their busy days in Afghanistan to share with us vital information and to answer our many questions. Brenda had to juggle power outages, work deadlines and a sickness while guest facilitating. Her efforts, insights, and dedication to an important cause are very much appreciated.
- Members of the listserv who posted, for sharing and asking important and sometimes difficult to ask questions.
- Lurkers who did not post, but faithfully read each and every post and reflected on what Brenda and her colleagues wrote, along with other listserv posters wrote. 
- David Rosen for suggesting that I contact Brenda to ask her if she would be willing to guest facilitate.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Many of you have suggested and asked about compiling the discussion into a smooth and easy to read format. I am looking into this and will get back to you about this.
