Story of Mr A

15^th Jan 12

I and my friend had just left the office, when a policeman introduced a person by the name of (A), after introduction he accompanied us to home. In lunch we had rice and bean. We start talking to him about the current job, family background.

Mr (A) had come from a remote district to find a job in center, he had just finished his 11^th class and wanted to work for his family, and He was 20 years old and three months ago had marry a girl aged 13 years. His father and brother were working in Kandahar province. He also wanted to work to pay the money; his relatives had given loan to his father. He told us that before he was working in hotel and was paid 3000Afs, now he wanted to have a work to get more than 100usd because he had to help his father and after all he had a wife. He had come to us to hire him as cook in our guest house, but unfortunately we had already a cook. He had gone to some departments to get a governmental job and submitted the filled forms but all in vain and now he had come to know that he won’t be able to get a job in governmental organizations. He told me that he had also gone to chief of police to hire him as a policeman, but they had rejected because they didn’t need. After hearing him, I observed and got an idea that he was a villager. I told him that now he has wife it would be better if he try to find a job in his own village as a teacher but he told me that was impossible. I suggested him to apply for army. He asked me about the salary and other benefits, whatever I knew, shared to him. Without drinking tea which we had made he stood up and went telling that he wanted to find a job urgently. I felt sorry because could not help him.

God help those who help themselves.

Hope Mr A will soon find a job.
