Panjshir Province, Afghanistan

The Panjshir PRT (Provincial Reconstruction Team) conducted a 12-hour Humanitarian Assistance mission in the Paryan District of the Panjshir province in December, 2009. Pre-coordination with the provincial sector of Social Protection took the mission to the village of Kur Petab. This mission was supported by the sector director for Women's Affairs and the District Governor's office. The PRT distributed items donated by the Lamia Afghan Foundation to eight different groups with the village elders supervising the distribution of the items. Materials delivered included flour, rice, oil, clothing for children and adults, shoes, boots, blankets and toys. The village elders understand our need for cooperation during these events resulting with a calm and very organized day.
