Dear Friends,
There are male students at most of AIL’s Learning Centers and there are 3 centers that have exclusively male students. Two of these are in Herat province and 1 is in Kabul. The Kabul center does computer classes for boys. There are 14 boys in the class at present and they are studying the Excel program.
The class needs two more computers and has asked AIL for help. The manager also reported that some families were not supportive of the students but he spoke to them and explained the benefits of education and how this would help their sons get jobs and learn other skills.
One boy said, “We talked to our parents and explained about how useful this class is. We did the best we could to make our parents feel happy about us doing the class. It will improve our lives and our society too.”
This was a successful talk and the parents are now feeling good about the class. The students have asked for an English class to be held as well. Some AIL centers have joint English and computing classes available.
Thank you for your continued support.
AIL is working towards:
SDG Goal 4 – Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
