Ski gear for children in Afghanistan...

...bear with me, there is some relevance!

I've been involved with the nascent skiing (and ski racing) in Afghanistan for a while, and whilst moving slowly (!) it's a really worthwhile initiative.

There is now a good selection of equipment for adults, but nothing for children (they're currently making their own skis and poles - really!). I'm confident I can find kids skis/boots/poles, and I can get them from Kabul to the north - but am looking for a (free) solution to get them from Europe to Kabul.

So, why here? Because amongst the private pilots there are many commercial pilots. Amongst the private pilots there are many working non-cockpit jobs in the aviation sector.

Luckily, the direction of dispatch reduces/removes most concerns about drug smuggling or other - but interested to hear any other concerns people might have?

If you can help (either practically or advice), feel free to post here - or send me an email (not a big fan of the PM system). sam a-in-a-circle prepare2go dot com.

See, not SO irrelevant after all!

Safe flights, Sam.
