September 2008:
American Support for Afghanistan (ASA), in partnership with NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), sponsored the 2nd Annual Winter Relief Donation Drive. Working in association with long-term partner Khorasan Orphanage in Kabul, Afghanistan, ASA distributed over 25 boxes of winter clothing, blankets and school supplies to children and families living in Afghanistan.
The clothes and supplies were provided to 60 families living in two refugee camps, many descendents from Afghanistan's Helmand and Kandahar regions, as well as Parwan Province. The material goods provided by ASA were well received and much appreciated.
These refugees have returned from Pakistan and are living in terrible conditions. Some families live in tents and old disused buildings and have limited access to employment and educational opportunities.
Due to the success of ASA's Winter Drive, ISAF has agreed to sponsor an additional shipment of supplies in the coming weeks.
