Lithuanians lead mine recognition program for Afghan children
Lithuanian Major Vaidas Sepkus, the civil military cooperation chief for Provincial Reconstruction Team Chaghcharan, places a knit cap on a Badgha village child Jan. 9. Children across the village attended two hours of mine awareness training to teach them about the kinds of mines here, how to recognize them and how to behave if they find one. After the training, all of the children were given the caps, which were sewn by Lithuanian citizens and sent here to help keep the children warm. (ISAF Joint Command photo by U.S. Air Force Tech.
