BAGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan, Jan. 4, 2008 Afghan national security forces and coalition forces delivered more than a ton of food, clothes and toys to the nearly 380 children of Shahid Ali Ahad Khan Karzi Orphanage and school in Afghanistans Kandahar province, Dec. 30.
Afghan soldiers also provided rice, beans and cooking oil to the orphanage staff. The orphanages principal said the supplies came at the right time, as the storage room was empty. In addition to the toys, food and supplies, the children also received free medical care from Afghan security forces and coalition doctors and medics. With winter weather settling in, some of the children were treated for minor ailments, such as ear infections and other flu-like symptoms. The children also learned good hygiene habits to keep them healthy. This was an excellent opportunity to show the children that we are concerned for their well-being, an Afghan soldier can. I am very pleased with the help that you brought for the children, the orphanage principal said. God bless your kindness. (From a Combined Joint Task Force 82 news release.) |
