00:03.940 --> 00:07.220
uh huh have forced gauntlet drove to

00:07.220 --> 00:09.331
the edge of the kohi Safi district to

00:09.331 --> 00:11.498
talk with the people in the village of

00:11.498 --> 00:13.720
Manic all because this village is still

00:13.720 --> 00:16.053
remote . This is only the second time U .

00:16.053 --> 00:18.276
S . Forces have visited with them . The

00:18.276 --> 00:20.053
village elders sat down with an

00:20.053 --> 00:22.276
interpreter to talk with the task force

00:22.276 --> 00:22.090
Command Sergeant Major about much

00:22.090 --> 00:24.090
needed humanitarian aid . We talked

00:24.090 --> 00:27.510
with elder and also said about the

00:27.520 --> 00:30.080
problems especially the need for a

00:30.080 --> 00:32.410
school and clinic have very little

00:32.410 --> 00:35.140
educational ability there . They have

00:35.140 --> 00:37.251
some teachers but they don't have any

00:37.251 --> 00:39.420
kind of infrastructure to be able to

00:39.430 --> 00:41.460
bring kids into a

00:41.470 --> 00:45.240
schoolhouse and educate the kids .

00:45.250 --> 00:47.306
The Sergeant Major took notes of the

00:47.306 --> 00:49.306
needed items and promised to make a

00:49.306 --> 00:51.083
trip back to the village with a

00:51.083 --> 00:53.250
provincial reconstruction team . We're

00:53.250 --> 00:55.194
going to get the bagram provincial

00:55.194 --> 00:57.250
reconstruction team to go down there

00:57.250 --> 00:59.139
and pretty much sit down with the

00:59.139 --> 01:01.361
leadership of the village again and try

01:01.361 --> 01:03.528
to create some projects and prioritize

01:03.528 --> 01:05.694
what needs to be done uh first and get

01:05.694 --> 01:07.750
started on the village coming out to

01:07.750 --> 01:09.750
villages like this one builds trust

01:09.750 --> 01:11.861
with the Afghan people who don't have

01:11.861 --> 01:14.083
very much contact with us and coalition

01:14.083 --> 01:13.910
forces . Some of these villages that

01:13.910 --> 01:16.240
are very inaccessible . I don't have a

01:16.240 --> 01:19.150
lot of access to the commercial areas

01:19.160 --> 01:22.290
by Kabul and some other marketplaces .

01:22.300 --> 01:24.300
The elders in this village extended

01:24.300 --> 01:26.467
their hospitality to everyone who made

01:26.467 --> 01:28.689
the long trip out of their village . We

01:28.689 --> 01:31.250
enjoyed some FBN culture and we had

01:31.250 --> 01:33.630
some mulberries . I think they relaxed

01:33.630 --> 01:35.797
are relaxed and we were able to have a

01:35.797 --> 01:37.963
good discussion on the music village .

01:37.963 --> 01:40.000
African culture usually Delap their

01:40.010 --> 01:42.690
gaze , you know , they like their

01:42.690 --> 01:44.820
guests in this case and that's and

01:44.820 --> 01:47.410
there are read some memories . And also

01:47.410 --> 01:49.577
Africa humanitarian aid in this region

01:49.577 --> 01:51.688
is important for many reasons for the

01:51.688 --> 01:53.799
things that we can provide for them .

01:53.799 --> 01:56.021
You know , hopefully we'll enrich their

01:56.021 --> 01:58.190
lives a little bit until they can um

01:58.200 --> 02:00.311
start producing things on their own .

02:00.311 --> 02:02.367
The task force made their assessment

02:02.367 --> 02:04.367
along with plans to return to man a

02:04.367 --> 02:06.089
call with medical supplies and

02:06.089 --> 02:08.200
educational tools to provide a better

02:08.200 --> 02:10.089
future for the village specialist

02:10.089 --> 02:11.750
Christina , me man to call Afghanistan .
