Update on AIL Pre-School Programs
By Alison Hendry | Administrative Assistant
During 2008 738 children attended the Afghan Institute of Learning’s 5 supported Pre-School Education Programs.
Recently, a mother of one of AIL’s pre-school students had this to say about the program: “My son is a student in this kindergarten class since last year. During this time, I have realized that the management, caring of children and the teaching of the AIL pre-school teachers is outstanding. My son happily goes to pre-school every day. He never cries like other children going to other kindergartens; it is because the teachers, manager and other staff are nice to him. Everyday when he comes home, he seems to have grown up a little more. I cannot express my opinions regarding AIL’s kindness. My son will never forget his childhood in this pre-school and he will remember AIL’s kindness and he will understand the value of what he is receiving when he becomes a young man, and be able express his feelings to AIL.”

Snapshot (2008) of the Pre-School Project-Jan-July 2008
By Alison Hendry | Administrative
In 2008, Creating Hope International’s project partner, the Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL), has supported five pre-schools. AIL has model pre-schools in Peshawar, Pakistan (for Afghan refugees) and in Kabul, Afghanistan. For parents that can afford it, fees are charged in the model pre-schools. Poor students receive scholarships. AIL also supports pre-schools in one Women’s Learning Center in Kabul and two rural Women’s Learning Centers in Herat. 416 girls and boys attended the five pre-schools during the first six months of 2008.
In the Pre-School Education Program, the students are taught the following subjects:
• Alphabet letters English and Dari
• Dari
• Math
• Islamic issues
• Drawing
• Colors
• Health
• Sports
• Music
• Stories
• Making projects
• Introducing Names of Animals
• Names of the countries
The mother of Sara, a pre-school student, said, “Before Sara came to this center, we put her in different pre-school programs and every day in the morning she was crying and she refused going to the school. But since she comes here she likes it and she has learned a lot. Now she is able to go to grade one and I as her mother thank AIL for providing this opportunity for the women and children".

Parents of the pre-schoolers are very happy with AIL’s program and report that when their children enter school, they perform far better than other children.
