- As our community prepares for more Afghan Refugees, I want to share with you this interesting and helpful reference that MPS put together. The short document includes some interesting and helpful information. For example:
- when alone with an Afghan, leave the door open.
- ask permission before taking a photo.
- lateness is common; the Afghan view of punctuality is quite fluid.
- when offering anything (food, supplies), Afghan custom is to decline twice but accept on the third offer. This shows hospitality on the part of the giver and humbleness on the part of the recipient.
- complimenting possessions can be tricky; an Afghan may feel compelled to offer the item to you. Politely decline.
