A young student standing outside the grade school here

A young student standing outside the grade school here greets Cpl. Joshua Brooks, a Marine serving with Team 3, Civil Affairs Detachment 11-2, as Brooks patrols into the school grounds Feb. 25, 2012. The Marines of Team 3 are providing guidance to the local government here to help them construct a new school. The current school is made of mud and mortar, is overcrowded and only has enough capacity to hold up to sixth grade. The new school will have up to eighth grade and have more than enough room for students and teachers. Brooks is from Celeste, Texas, and is serving under Regimental Combat Team 5 and alongside 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion in Helmand province.
