Books for Afghan Girls School

Thanks to your generous support, Sahar will equip a school in Northern Afghanistan with books. On a trip out to a school, our Fellow Advisor Airokhsh Faiz Qaisary was again reminded of the great need for books - textbooks, fiction, non fiction and poetry in the schools we work with both in the city and rural areas. It is important too that when we purchase books, we do it locally to contribute to the economy. As donors, you are contributing to educating girls.  

Mahommoda is an 11th grade student at the school where the new books and equipment for the library will be housed. Her passion for books started early.

She said, "reading books will help me reach my goal. I always wished to have a room for the library in our school to go borrow books and study books there. When it became known that a fuller library was to established in our school I was very excited. The books help me to better understand people, cultures, ideas, behaviours, wishes and most importantly, their hopes. I think my top position in my class is because of my understanding of general information about class studies and also about the wider world now."

Mahommoda cares a great deal about her country, "this urban school is inside the city and has lots of opportunities like a library for the students. But it is not the same in the villages and rural areas. Even if the school in the village has a small library, there are not many important and interesting books. So, making a program to establish libraries is a great idea and I know there will be lots of improvements in the students after a while."

This is evident to the fact that your generosity is making huge differences in Northern villages in Afghanistan, so we Thank You very much for that!
