Water Program Helps Peace Effort in Afghanistan

Afghanistan suffers from being a constant battleground, and also of severe drought. With no rain crops cannot grow, and neither can people. Working to change that situation is Dr. Tetsu Nakamura of Peace (Japan) Medical Services. He studied engineering from scratch to construct a large-scale irrigation system that carries water from the Kunar River to areas in need. Japanese engineering ideas and the stone-handling skills of the Afghan people are bringing peace and harmony back to its land.
