    KABUL, Afghanistan – Eight solar panels were donated to the National Directorate of Security, or NDS, headquarters by the Spanish Provincial Reconstruction Team in Qal’ah-ye Now district, Badghis province, yesterday.

    This quick-impact project is worth $ 10,000 and will increase the operational capabilities of the Afghan National Security Forces in Qal’ah-ye Now by providing electrical power for the NDS headquarters.

    The delivery ceremony was chaired by the provincial NDS chief, Mr Gobi Nabi, together with the Spanish Provincial Reconstruction Team commander, Col. Rosaleny Pardo de Santayana.

    The solar panels delivery follows another quick-impact project the Spanish reconstruction team had conducted for the Afghan National Security Forces in the same district.

    The reconstruction team handed out 40 winter-kits to the Afghan Uniformed Police headquarters in Qal’ah-ye Now, Dec. 26. The winter-kits were delivered to improve the operational readiness of the uniformed police service members and consisted of coats, boots, gloves, wool-caps, sport training gear and four heaters.
