Help 429 children go to school in Afghanistan

My father encourages me

I am Mh, a student of the sixth grade of Darman primary school.

We live in the village of Warsae Faqir Sahib in Kama district. I have two brothers and three sisters. My elder brother and sister also graduated from this Darman school. My brother is currently studying in the eleventh grade of male High School in Qala Akhund, and my sister was in the female High School in Qala Akhund. She was an eighth-grade student, but when the new Taliban government came, all schools above primary school were closed and my sister was no longer allowed to go. Every day she is waiting for her school to open so that she can continue with her education.

We are a very poor family, my father is a farmer and uneducated.

All the residents of this village and the neighbouring villages are very lucky to have this Darman school. If this school wasn't here, all the girls here would be uneducated because other schools are far from here, and on the other hand, people pay little attention to the girl’s education here.

I like my school and lessons because all our teachers work very hard that we learn our lessons properly.

My father encourages me to go to school and study a lot, and I also try very hard and I want to become a good doctor in the future to serve my people and save my family from this misery. But I don't think that my wish will come true, because I don't know if the government will give permission to open girls' high schools or not in the future.

I would like to thank you and all those who help this Darman school and sincerely request them to continue their donations with our school.

Regards,

Mh

I graduated today

I am Gh, the daughter of A.M. I graduated today (19.06.2023) from the sixth grade of DARMAN primary school in Kama district.

I am very grateful to all my teachers and especially to the organization DARMAN, which organized a magnificent party for our graduation today. People from the education administration of Kama district also came and encouraged us a lot.

I am from a poor family of farmers; I only reached this grade six graduation facing many economic problems, but with enthusiasm and great interest to learn.

In this six-year period, besides writing and reading, I learned many helpful things. I take with me many good memories of this school, the students and teachers, and I will always remember them.

After graduating from this school, on the one side I am very happy that I completed the primary school well. But on the other side I am very sad, because the schools above grade six are closed for girls here, and I cannot continue my education any further.

I am very interested in becoming a teacher in the future so I can serve my people in this way, but I don't know if this dream of mine will ever come true or not. We hope that in the future schools will be opened for girls again and I will be able to continue my education.

Finally, I would like to thank the leadership of DARMAN organization, my teachers, and all the kind people who are helping us through this school. I ask them to continue their donations for this school, because the only hope for the girls of this area is this DARMAN School.

Best Regards,
