Thank you for your support of Sahar Education! Because of your generosity, girls in Balkh province, Northern Afghanistan, have the opportunity to continue their education and have access to books in their school library!
For students, books are a window to knowledge and the rest of the world. This window is especially important in the schools for Afghan girls that are supported by Sahar. Teachers are stretched thin, often have limited educations themselves, and have experienced little of the world outside their province, let alone their country. Access to the internet or other electronic media is limited at best.
A well built, functioning school provides a healthy and safe environment for a community's children, and a place where they learn the skills they need to become productive and peaceful adults. Many school buildings have been constructed in Afghanistan in recent years. But a building alone does not make a school. To be successful, it must be supplied, have qualified teachers, be fully supported by its community, and become fully sustained by its community. That's our long-term goal.
So thank you for helping girls by expanding their access to books. Small changes make big impacts on the lives of the girls we serve, and we couldn't do it without you!
Warmly,
Ginna Brelsford
