Making life a little better
I'm SSG Frank Broncato from Buffalo, and I am Humanitarian Aid Coordinator in the Civil Military Affairs Section of 27th Brigade Combat Team, CJTF Phoenix VII Kabul, Afghanistan.
I keep track of all incoming and out going aid supplies. I distribute clothes, toys, food and school supplies, which are desperately needed here. We are opening up a lot of schools for the children of Afghanistan.
In the picture I am at the Aschiana School for Street Children near Kabul.
These children are really poor. They are beggars who live in mud huts, shanties, or bombed-out buildings. They beg for their parents and siblings everyday. The look on their faces when they receive school supplies is overwhelming. I could tell that they were very excited and that we are giving them a fighting chance at life.
