Provincial Reconstruction Team Herat recently completed an expansion of a local kindergarten, one in a series of four projects in support of the Afghan social affairs department.

The Civil Military Affairs team, led by the Capt. Mirko Radi, also constructed three professional centres apart from the expansion of the kindergarten. These projects will help widowed women, handicapped persons and abandoned children. The centres will provide the opportunity for people to re-enter society and seize the opportunity to become literate and learn new work skills.

“Thanks to the generosity of the Italian people the professional centre will be able to provide opportunities to less protected people such as widows, children and the handicapped,” said Mrs Laila, the director of the professional center.

“We can now count on the new kindergarten which has been made to accommodate a higher capacity of children and a higher standard of education quality.
