Building Bright Futures: Robotics and Resilience
![]()
Dear family and friends of AAFE,
Because of your generosity, the classroom is replacing the street, and dreams are replacing survival. Thanks to your support, children who once sold goods on the roadside to help feed their families are now students, focused, curious, and hopeful. They’re not just attending school; they’re discovering who they can become.
Just two months ago, our second graders, in Herat province, embarked on something remarkable: building robots! Yes, students who once had no access to basic education are now exploring robotics and hands-on science, unlocking creativity and confidence through teamwork and discovery.
Their teacher, Ms.Saleha, shared her pride and amazement:
“They are not only learning reading and writing but also studying English and Universal Concept Mental Arithmetic (UCMAS), a program that strengthens brain development and mathematical confidence. They are moving fast and dreaming big.”
One of our second graders, Arman, put it simply and powerfully:
“I used to sell boiled eggs. Now I go to school. I love all the subjects!”
Meanwhile, in another classroom, a group of students turned odd and even numbers into a lively floor game, sorting, matching, and proudly showing off their understanding through movement and play. You can see their hard work in the video attached below!
This is what your support makes possible: not just access to education, but transformation. You’re helping students break cycles of poverty, confront one of the world’s highest illiteracy rates, and develop the skills and confidence to shape their own futures.
This impact is only possible because of you, and we need your continued support to keep going.
Please consider making another gift today and help us spread the word by sharing AAFE’s mission with your friends, family, and community. The more people who know, the more children we can reach.
Together, we can turn classrooms into safe havens and street-working children into scholars.
With heartfelt thanks,
The AAFE Team
