Turkey helps out Paralympic body in Afghanistan
Turkey’s state-run aid agency delivered sporting and office equipment to the Herat Paralympic Federation in western Afghanistan earlier this week, Anadolu Agency reported.


Speaking at the ceremony, Ali Ergun Cinar, coordinator for the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA), said the agency also renovated the federation’s sports equipment store.

He said the equipment donated to them was meant to help Afghan athletes excel in their respective fields and contribute to their country’s successes.

Nader Shah Heydari, head of the Paralympic body, said 250 athletes have trained with the federation since it was established six years ago, AA reported.

He said 15 of those Paralympic athletes went on to win medals for Afghanistan.
