We have decided to launch a children’s garden in Badakhshan near the Light of Pamir children’s home. The garden will give needy local children a secondary, safe place to play and receive a food education. Additionally, this garden project will directly address two of our key targets in the Light of Pamir project:adequate nutrition for the orphans and supporting sustainability for the home by generating food for use onsite.
We are working with our local partner Janagha Jaheed to lease land for the garden – just a short walk from the home. We will install a video camera so that our donors can watch our children working in the garden. The camera will be managed by a security guard who will also serve and the garden’s caretaker and protect it from all threats.
The shipment of children's clothing and books has reached Kabul thanks to the support of the Denton program which provided shipping of this humanitarian aid for the children in Baharak. The US Air Force will take the pallets of donated aid up to Badakhshan in July. We've posted here a photo of some of the boxes and the Valley Catholic students who collected the aid after hearing of the needs in Northern Afghanistan.
Global Roots fund raising continues in order to help generate adequate operating funds for the home.
