KABUL, Afghanistan — Italian soldiers from Regional Command West's Task Force South recently renovated a children's orphanage in Farah province.
An earlier visit to the orphanage found it in need of numerous repairs to include correcting unsanitary conditions. Italian forces donated the money for the renovations.
Improvements included installing heaters, building a recreation room with games and a television, renovation of two classrooms and a kitchen and a multi-purpose sports facility were also built.
While the project was being completed, a Task Force South doctor performed check-ups with the children and ensured the orphanage was practicing proper hygiene.
The project cost €7,000.
