Scholarships for Afghan Girls

The students started a new school year in April.  The female scholarship recipients are very excited to attend a good school with all the right uniforms and supplies. They know without assistance it would not have been possible for their families to afford a quality education for them. The photo is of  some of the youngest children.

Here are comments about the two- year Leadership Class attended by 15 girls who were specially selected for the class. This is the sort of quality program the scholarships give poor children access to.

“It has been proven that people are influenced by their surroundings and by engagement with others who can have a big impact on them, their success, behavior and habits. The leadership program organizes meetings with successful people so that, the students get motivated through speaking with them. In the last month the students met two well- known leaders. The purpose of these meetings was to make the young leaders understand their place and create a pattern for themselves. The students introduced themselves and their programs and asked questions about the ways of reaching high positions of leadership and also the challenges that exist along the way. The students took notes and added them to their plans.”
