As the year draws to a close, we want to thank you for your support in 2017. Your donations have helped many people improve their lives. Thank you for being a part of this! Stories are the best way for us to show how you have helped poor Afghans improve their lives and communities. Here is one of our favorites from this year. A student said, "In my opinion the first and best thing that youth need to do is to transform ourselves and then to transform the community. This way we will be able to motivate society and our country toward development and a more prosperous future.
Everybody needs knowledge and perception in order to have a good life. We have learned that studying and reading books is “a light in the path of life”. Our countrymen spend less time on reading and studying useful topics than people in developed countries. This is one of the common reasons why our people lack academic awareness.
Our teacher tells us that a society develops when its people develop two habits, exercise and reading books. In this class we understand the purpose of reading books. Every month we read, summarize and present one book in front of the class. We have been doing this for a year. Now reading has become one of our daily habits. If I don't read some pages during the day, I feel like I have lost something."
Thank you for your continued support for young people which enables them to get a good education at a high quality school or university. Please read our 2017 Newsletter for more information.
