"The soul of education is the education of the soul." - Pius X

This quote stands over the entrance to the Charlotte Catholic High School in Charlotte, NC. On Easter 2011, 78 boxes of badly needed school supplies were distributed to 4th and 5th grade students at the Amani School in Kabul, Afghanistan. The supplies were thanks to the generosity and hard-work of the students, parents and friends of Charlotte Catholic.

It was members of the the school's National Honor Society who lobbied the administration to allow the fundraiser which ultimately provided these supplies. Donations were collected during school and sporting events.

For their hard work, generosity and thoughtfulness, the students of Charlotte Catholic have been thanked by the two top US Generals in Afghanistan, General Petraeus and LTG Caldwell.

This wonderful project is the inspiration of Senior US Government Civilian Harold Graziano, who serves in Afghanistan with the NATO Training Mission. It all began several years ago when Mr Graziano simply walked into the school unannounced and asked, "how can I help?"
