ARYA Supports Kapisa Teachers

Because of your generous support, ARYA was able to provide classes for three to four months of winter. Teachers have been hired to teach them, math, religion, English and Dari. [View photos of winter classes here.]

Support for the Orphanages:

We provided 280 winter jackets, for the orphans, 60 of the jackets were for girls.

We had some requests from the children in the orphanage:

A. A bath place. They do not have a place to take a bath in the winter. During the summer they use local rivers and streams. This wish was granted and within 24 hours the work for a bath house started. We have also bought all the accessories like shampoo, lotion, buckets and soap.

B. Winter classes for three to four months of winter. Teachers have been hired to teach them, math, religion, English and Dari. [View photos of winter classes here.]

C. The last wish was for a TV, we are in the process of providing one TV, we might have to buy at least two.

The estimated cost so far is $2000.

All of the above was possible by your donations and purchase of our goods.

The ARYA team would like to thank each and everyone of you for your contributions.
