KABUL, Afghanistan – International Security Assistance Force soldiers delivered hundreds of warm socks, made by people of Lithuania, to the children of Ghor province Dec 16.
Lithuanian people actively participated in the project, launched by ISAF soldiers, named “Open Hearts – Warm Feet” to knit socks for Afghan children.
Together with the director of Department of Labor and Social Affairs Dr. Crul Ahmad Osmani, provincial reconstruction team soldiers donated these handmade socks for the kindergarten and orphanage of Chaghcharan city.
“It is gratifying to know and see that people who are living far away from here shows attention for us and sends their warmness and goodness,” Osmani said.
In the near future soldiers are planning to visit Soltan Razieh girls high school in order to donate socks for the poorest families’ children.
The socks project exceeded soldier’s expectations. They intended to collect 1000 socks but the people delivered three times more. Families of reconstruction team soldiers, schools, libraries and social organizations across Lithuania participated in this event
