Kabul, Afghanistan-This mother and daughter are among the families being assisted by the Mennonite Central Committee and Church World Service. In just 4 provinces around Kabul (out of Afghanistan's 29 provinces) 5,000 homes were destroyed and 2,500 civilians killed during the U.S. War in Afghanistan.

The COGPF sent $935 to provide a House Kit for one family. The Kit includes all materials to rebuild a house and a latrine-doors, windows, wooden beams and planks, cement, and pipes. The family makes the mud bricks and builds the home with the help of neighbors.

Dr. Shane Kirkpatrick and Ed and Heidi Fry met recently with AU's SPI (Student Peace Initiative). Ed Fry led the discussion on Francis of Assissi. Adam W. Miller hope for "vigorous peace groups on every college campus," and would be pleased about the achievementso f SPI and the PACT (Peace and Conflict Transformation) program. Dr. Miller and Dean Russell Ot, lifelong pacifists, started the COGPF in the 1930s. Two AU buildings are named in their honor: Olt Student Center and Adam W. Miller Chapel.
