To Ms Debbie Locke

Thank you once again for your kind contribution of education supplies that your foundation has donated for the children of Uruzgan. I am pleased to report that the supplies were successfully distributed by the Afghan Health Development Services under the AusAID funded School Health Education Project, that is managed by Save the Children. The supplies were distributed to four schools in Tarin Kowt as part of our hygiene and basic health training. If you look at the spreadsheet that is included, you will see where the materials were distributed.

I would like to thank you on behalf of the children from these schools. You can see from photo that the children were very happy to receive your donation.
