In Afghanistan’s southwestern province of Farah, a celebration was held on Sunday (April 11th) to mark the opening of the refurbished Farah City Orphanage. Afghan officials, led by Farah Provincial Governor Rahul Amin, and foreign officials from NATO participated in the celebrations. They spent time with the children (ages 4-18) who live in the orphanage. Since last year, numerous improvements have been made to the living space, and to the classrooms in the orphanage. School supplies, computers, desks and other furniture were also donated to the children living in the orphanage. The orphanage keeps many children off the streets by providing them a safe place to live, as well as food, clothing and an education.
