Foto’s Blog: Military introduces DMW in Afghanistan

Mar 7, 2011   //   Afghanistan, Foto's Blog  //  Comments Off


Phodographer Major Timothy Reed in Bagram, Afghanistan 2010

Major Reed is the C/91st Civil Affairs Commander. He has taken on the Dog Meets World project. He said:

The kids are wonderful yet still apprehensive… they do not get a lot of people out to their site even though it is just outside our gate. This first set of pictures was a very non intrusive operation where we just got the kids introduced to our force protection level.. vest, helmets, and weapons. All children in the photo holding the puppy got a photo and there is a photo that will go in the school of all the kids in that class. The school is the Jom Khadam Middle School in Bagram Afghanistan.

Thank you Major Reed for introducing the toy Foto dog and using the power of photography to connect with these children.
