PANJSHIR PROVINCE, Afghanistan – Panjshir province governor, Hajii Bahlol, cuts a ribbon to begin groundbreaking on the Massoud Technical School Dormitory in Astana village, Panjshir Province, Afghanistan, Mar. 1. A local contractor is building the dormitory, which will house 176 beds in a modern facility that includes indoor plumbing and electricity. Government and village officials hope the dormitory will increase technical training school attendance by eliminating commuting problems for potential students.
