U.S. Service members assigned to Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa and representatives from the U.S. Embassy joined with the President of the Union of the Comoros and local leaders to dedicate the newly renovated school. The approximately $250,000 renovation project was financed by CJTF-HOA and was the result of an ongoing relationship with the Comoros Ministry of Education and the local government.
