Calling Home: Christopher Foulkes in Kabul, Afghanistan

From Sunday Morning, 7:43 am on 9 August 2020

Christopher Foulkes moved to Kabul in 2014 for a five-week assignment, and he has been drawn back ever since. A support officer with the UN's International Organisation for Migration, Christopher lives in a compound with his co-workers and can only leave in armoured vehicles with bullet-proof glass. Despite these restrictions, he says that Afghanistan's stark beauty rivals that of New Zealand.
