 Female Engagement Team 8 and Afghan National Security Forces teamed up for a children's shura held at Fort Operating Base Jackson in Sangin District, December 2nd. The FET, which consists of one sailor and one marine, organized and planned the shura and helped the Afghan forces put together a puppet show for the children. The puppet show was a creative way to tell the children not to take part in bad activities and to try and learn as much as possible so they can make something of themselves. We partner with them in a lot of things. We want their support because it is Afghanistan and we're handing it over back to them. We want them to run the shuras. We want them to be in charge. It's a great team building things with the Marines and the Anasas. More than 50 children were in attendance at the shura where the Ministry of Justice spoke to them and they received a school lesson from a local teacher.
