Locally grown roasted peanuts will be ground and mixed with sugar, cooking oil, powdered milk and children’s liquid vitamins to create Ready to Use Therapeutic Food doses (RUTF) or Qavi Ghiza (Pashtu for “Strong Food”) designed to help malnourished Afghan children gain weight, and ultimately restore them to a state in which they can tolerate and thrive on a healthy age-appropriate diet, Oct. 29, 2009, Forward Operating Base (FOB) Farah, Afghanistan. The Supplemental Food Program was initiated by the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) Farah in June 2009. At first the food was mixed and packaged at Forward Operating Base (FOB) Farah and distributed at the Civil Affairs ran Special Operations Forces (SOF) Clinic just outside the FOB. As of Oct. 31, 2009, the Supplemental Feeding Program will be completely handed over to the Afghan doctors at Farah Hospital who will now manage and execute the program under minimal supervision from the PRT medical team.
