Blackanthem Militray News, CAMP TAJI, Iraq -Assyria Village conducted a grand opening for a Women’s Center just outside the gates of Camp Taji Wednesday, which will provide women in the small village a place to meet, sew, cook and use the center’s computers.
The $230,000 building was built from the ground up and is equipped with 12 sewing machines, 12 computers, a kitchen, office space, a back-up generator and two ovens.
"This is the first building I’ve ever heard of that is just for women," said Capt. Holly Hanson, team leader for Civil Affairs Team 3, Company C, 414th Civil Affairs Battalion, attached to the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division. "There aren’t a lot of chances for women in this part of the world. It (the Women’s Center) will give them a sense of accomplishment and an education that they won’t get anywhere else."
