9/11 Department

Mark Draughn

Sally Goodrich, whose son died in the Sept. 11 attacks, kept a grip on her grief as she surveyed the foundations of the Afghan school being built with money she raised in the United States.

...

Goodrich, a native of Bennington, Vt., and an administrator for schools in nearby North Adams, Mass., has helped raise about $180,000 for the new girl's school in Surkh Abat, about 30 miles south of Kabul, in Logar province.

I can't imagine a better way to help the Afghan people while simultaneously striking a blow against Islamic extremism than to educate a bunch of young girls.

Help is always needed. Please see www.goodrichfoundation.org for information about the school in Afghanistan and information on how to donate to the effort. We are still working on the site - but it has some wonderful information and pictures. Thank you for your interest.
