Ms. Erb was the guest
speaker at the November
meeting of the Zurich and
Area Chamber of Commerce
held Thursday.
Carol who is the daughter
of°Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Erb
of RR 2, Zurich showed
slides and gave a description
of the country.
The country has an area
the size of Texas with a
population that is 99 percent,
in terms of religion.
The country has four
seasons the country
receiving snow during the
winter.
Ms. Erb works for the
Noor Eye Institute in the
capital city of Kabul where
she is a secretary.
The Institute which is
partially funded by the
Kristofle Mission of West
Germany is under contract
to the Afghanistan govern-
ment to provide eye care to
the epople of the country.
The hospital has a staff of
120 of which 100 are Afghan
citizens.
She told the chamber she
has never met a people who
have more hospitality. Ms.
Erb said the people would go
out and borrow money to
feed foreign visitors.
The Afghan culture is quite
different from western
culture with the family unit
being very important. The
family arranges the
marriages and looks after
the elderly, she said.
Foreigners were affected
little by the coup which took
place in the spring she said,
with the people she had lived
with being unhurt although
the house which she
manages did sustain around
$100 damage.
She said there is a real
need for the Institute as 89
percent of the people have
eye problems.
"Canada looks pretty good
when I came back," Ms. Erb
said.
Ms. Erb who has worked in
Afghanistan for six years, is
home on a six month
vacation and hopes to return
to the 1 and -locked country
sometime in the new year.
