Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Standing in front of the supplies required to support the Farah Supplemental Feeding Program that he oversees, Dr. Abdul Ghani, a nutrition specialist at the Farah City Hospital, discusses the progress the program has made with Lt. Cmdr. Ron Purcell, an internal medicine physician assigned to the Farah Provincial Reconstruction Team, March 20, Farah, Afghanistan. The feeding program is designed to supplement the diet of many young Afghan boys and girls, ranging in age from infant to adolescent, who are unable to consume a proper nutritional diet and who are considered to be significantly underweight. Currently, there are 80 children enrolled in the program but there are many other Afghan mothers who would like to get their children involved. Each week members of the Farah Hospital staff make "peanut balls" which are the cornerstone of the program. The peanut balls are a combination of peanuts, powdered milk, white sugar, cooking oil and multi-vitamins that are systematically mixed together to ultimately create a sweet tasting and substantial dietary supplement designed to be taken every day. Each dose fulfills patients' daily requirements for Vitamins A, B-complex, C, D, calcium, iron and folate.
