KABUL, Afghanistan - The Herat Provincial Reconstruction Team, part of the International Security Assistance Force, recently dedicated the school library near the village of Owzi Karbaz in Herat province to the memory of Warrant Officer Arnaldo Forcucci, who died of natural causes at the Italian base on Jan. 15.

The library was renovated by the PRT's Civil and Military Cooperation department with the intent of supporting the education in the province through the improvement of resources and necessary teaching tools; especially in the rural areas of Herat Province where the illiteracy rate is very high.

With the renovation of the school library, the PRT has completed 34 school projects in the province. In 2009, the PRT has set an ambitious goal: "three school projects in each district."
