Amena said, " I am one of the eleventh class students who has been given a scholarship. I am proud to have started at the school four years ago as it provides the best level of education available along with great classes of singing, leadership, library, laboratory and the sport field.  I am also a member of the leadership class where I have learned great leadership principles like planning, reading and many other essential skills.The scholarship means I can do my studies for free thanks to Professor Sakena Yaccobi, I also won one of the gold medal from gold medal award ceremony which was such a great thing for me and my family."

Dear Friends, 

The new school year in Afghanistan began in April and scholarships are being awarded to young girls and boys eager to continue their education. We are grateful for the support we have received for our projects funding scholarships for K-12 students.  We are proud to report that microprojects  have raised enough money to award 16 girls and 5 boys scholarships.  This general scholarship project will provide more scholarships, the number available has yet to be determined. 

One of the premium classes at the private school is the Leadership Class for top students.  Every single story that students shared with AIL staff this month included a positive review of this class.  Our scholarship students have the opportunity to try out for this special year long class. The class explores all aspects of leadership and includes work projects in the community such as a recent clean up effort as well as field trips.

One of the scholarship recipients shared this story: “My name is Hares and I am so delighted to have been given the scholarship.  This is a great thing that the school does to help most of the students dealing with financial problems.  While some schools just try to increase the number of students, the Yacoobi Private Schools are giving scholarships to help promote the knowledge of its current students.  There is also a leadership class that is free for top students and I am one of the participants.  Leadership, management, and peace are the subjects taught.  I learned how to be a good leader because I attended that class.” 

Your help means even more children can have the opportunity to continue their education and work towards a better future.  Thank you so much for your continued support of our efforts to give young Afghans access to high quality education.
