In
the
late
1960s
,
when
I
was
five
or
six
,
Baba
decided
to
build
an
orphanage
.
I
heard
the
story
through
Rahim
Khan
.
He
told
me
Baba
had
drawn
the
blueprints
himself
despite
the
fact
that
he'd
had
no
architectural
experience
at
all
.
Skeptics
had
urged
him
to
stop
his
foolishness
and
hire
an
architect
.
Of
course
,
Baba
refused
,
and
everyone
shook
their
heads
in
dismay
at
his
obstinate
ways
.
Then
Baba
succeeded
and
everyone
shook
their
heads
in
awe
at
his
triumphant
ways
.
Baba
paid
for
the
construction
of
the
two-story
orphanage
,
just
off
the
main
strip
of
Jadeh
Maywand
south
of
the
Kabul
River
,
with
his
own
money
.
Rahim
Khan
told
me
Baba
had
personally
funded
the
entire
project
,
paying
for
the
engineers
,
electricians
,
plumbers
,
and
laborers
,
not
to
mention
the
city
officials
whose
"
mustaches
needed
oiling
."

It
took
three
years
to
build
the
orphanage
.
I
was
eight
by
then
.
I
remember
the
day
before
the
orphanage
opened
,
Baba
took
me
to
Ghargha
Lake
,
a
few
miles
north
of
Kabul
.
He
asked
me
to
fetch
Hassan
too
,
but
I
lied
and
told
him
Hassan
had
the
runs
.
I
wanted
Baba
all
to
myself
.
And
besides
,
one
time
at
Ghargha
Lake
,
Hassan
and
I
were
skimming
stones
and
Hassan
made
his
stone
skip
eight
times
.
The
most
I
managed
was
five
.
Baba
was
there
,
watching
,
and
he
patted
Hassan
on
the
back
.
Even
put
his
arm
around
his
shoulder
.
