Hospital Delivery!

October 8th, 2008… We visited with children staying at this hospital.

Some of these photos are not pleasant to view but it is the reality of war and innocent children are injured by land mines and they have suffered from decades of war. It will be my mission to continue and aid the innocent Handicapped Children of Afghanistan.

On October 7th we delivered 234 bags of rice.

Below are some photos of the school.Â While the students face many more challenges than the average Afghan youth, the instructors provide an excellent environment for learning given the resources they have.

Hassina uses her superb negotiating skills, (well honed in the Denver media market,) to hammer out a mutually beneficial deal for this rice vendor and children at the hospital.

On October 8th we visited the “School for the Deaf,” delivering 321 bags of rice for meals. These boys are learning sign language from a dedicated instructor, however at this instant it appears they’re more interested in the camera.

2007 Delivery

Afghans for Tomorrow Humanitarian Aid Shipment #7 through the Denton Program: 951 boxes weighing 25,569 lbs. were moved from Castle Rock and Aurora, CO to Peterson Air Force Base on December 17th, 2007. They were loaded then unloaded with the help of the New Hope Men’s Fellowship volunteers – pictured below:

Approximately 700 boxes, that had been stored in Castle Rock for over 9 months, were transported by several trucks, vans and a large bus, by the NHMF shown above. The boxes of humanitarian supplies included hand knit wool garments, blankets, shoes, clothing, sewing supplies, medical equipment, seed packets, and more.

Handicapped Children of Afghanistan Charity started by the late Khadija Omar (below right), and continued in her honor by her daughter Hassina, raised money for wheelchairs and crutches for Afghanistan last year. These filled 258 boxes shown in the two trucks (on the right) which transported these supplies from Aurora to Peterson. Khadija and her late husband Dr. Abdullah Omar were always involved in helping the less fortunate people of Afghanistan.

These boxes were loaded on pallets then airlifted to Bagram, via Ramstein AB, Germany, and brought by A4T representatives to our Kabul Office in January 2008. We thank Najibullah Sedeque and Najib Mojaddidi for all their help with the delivery and the storage of these boxes.

This was the last of the New Hope Men’s Fellowship shipments to Afghanistan. A4T is very grateful to all these volunteers.

Seven shipments have been sent from Castle Rock under the Denton Program since 2002. The Denton Program is a US Government program (under the State Dept. and USAID) to ship humanitarian aid from the US to countries around the world at government expense.

As soon as the customs have approved of these boxes, the items will be distributed to the Afghans who greatly need them.
