07/10/14

The Italian contingent of UNIFIL, currently composed of soldiers from the Ariete brigade, recently delivered teaching materials and equipment (classrooms, photocopiers, personal computers) to three schools in the villages of Yarin, Mahrunah and Jibal Al Butm.

The activity is part of the civil-military cooperation (CIMIC) carried out in favor of the people of South Lebanon, in line with the objectives set by UNIFIL, and is aimed at supporting the public school system through contributions that allow to improve and increase the training offer for young students.

The managers of the schools and municipalities involved in the donation expressed their heartfelt thanks to the Italian blue helmets for their continued support and, in particular, for their attention to the youth education sector.
