Afghan in US honoured as 2022 Workplace Hero

KABUL (Pajhwok): The American Red Cross has honoured an Afghan citizen as ‘2022 Workplace Hero’ for resettling more than 100 of his countrymen in the United States over the past three months.

Samim Noorzad, manager for Commonwealth Catholic Charities Refugee Resettlement Programme, became entitled to work three months ago.

He successfully resettled 130 Afghan evacuees, who had been living on military bases after their evacuation from the war-hit country.

Noorzad saw to it that each family was assigned with a volunteer and received donations of school supplies, clothes and food.
