Help 429 children go to school in Afghanistan

Lucky student

My name is Shakila student of class 3 in Darman School.

4 years ago we returned from Pakistan and came back to our home land in Kama, I was a small girl and my father worked hard to sustain our family and my elder brothers Jamal helped him in the field ...life here in Kama was not good as in Pakistan… I saw that many boys and girls are going to school and it was very excited for me, although I was under school age but I was really interested about school and known that we are poor family, but my brother was really dishearten  by poverty, so he couldn’t join school in Pakistan and our parents were unable to sent him to private school due to our economic situation .  

After some time of our return we heard that in our village a school is operating by DARMAN NGO, and school officials invited peoples to admit their children in the school. immediately my father got admission for my brother Jamal in Darman school and he started his lessons, really that was amazing for us and we really thrilled by happiness, because we can join school and now school is not only dream for us…now school is waiting for us and our waiting  ended.

After one year my age became school age and i also joined Darman School, now I am really proud that I am a student in spite of that we are very poor and it’s just like godsend.

In our country education is free, stationary and books are provided freely, it’s incredible for us because in Pakistan all costs burden by students. Now here is no discrimination between poor and rich families' children, and all of us receiving education in same manner and in same quality,  we are very happy and feeling lucky our self.

 We requested from DARMAN NGO to keep our school running and construct more classrooms in our school.

 My God bless our school teachers, DARMAN NGOs staff and all donors those provide this opportunity for us and strive hard for our happiness.

Sincerely yours

 Shakila
