Nongovermental groups from the United States are setting up educational opportunities for poor children in rural Afghanistan so that they are able to attend school and get some form of an education. Since schools in this area are a target of bombing and killing they have set up community based schools that allow families and teachers to attend without being scared of losing their lives. It gives them an opportunity to teach and learn.
I find this article very sad. It is so sad that children are in this situation. They can't go to school and they can't learn because they fear that they will lose their lives. However, they are making the best of their situation. With some help they are finding an opportunity to learn in a time of great struggles. This goes to show that whatever the situation, education and learning is always possible. Education is important and it is nice to know that the children of Afghanistan are getting the opportunity to attend some form of it. It is also nice to know that teachers are still so motivated to teach students even through a crisis like the one Afghanistan is going through.
