The family of a 9-11 victim raised in Williamstown will be in Afghanistan on Saturday (April 15) for the dedication of a girls' school built with $236,000 from the Peter M. Goodrich Memorial Foundation. Approximately 70 people turned out on Tuesday night for the regional premier of a 106-minute Afghanistan documentary, Kabul Transit, shot by Williams College Anthropology Prof. David Edwards and a collaborator, Gregory Whitmore (Williams 1998). Donations of close to $1,000 from the benefit screening will be used to construct a playground for the 16-classroom, 520-student school in Surkh Abat, 30 miles south of Kabul in Logar province.
