The Future for Afghanistan Children Organization (FACO) based in Mazar-i-Sharif has been very busy these past few months. They have hosted a theater camp which was attended by over 30 students from poor regions of Afghanistan. This school and the camp specifically are a reflection upon the support of donors and sponsors throughout the world.
Another recent success story is that of Mohammad who is an 18 year old in the 10th grade. He has received 2 years of support from FACO and is now a very hard working young man would like to make a difference in the world. Throughout his continued studies (made possible by donations) he has learned and greatly developed his English skills. In fact he has recently awarded a first place ribbon among the nine northern states of Afghanistan for English. He hopes to continue this high level of achievement.
The FACO technical staff has been busy re-vamping the website and purchasing the new domain www.FACO.af, and coordinating the redirection of the old site www.ChildFoundation.af to bring visitors to this new domain. The site has new content that is much more current and precise. The photos have been updated and the site itself takes on a much friendlier look.
FACO looks foward to future years of helping children with their education but is also faced with realistic challenges such as rising fuel costs and ongoing mid-East tension. With the help of our kind donors and sponsors we will continue to make a difference together.
