Blankets made by Afghan widows were distributed
to orphaned children
in Parwan and Kapisa provinces. Funds to purchase materials for
the blankets were raised through donations to ARYA.

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.
