Building a solid foundation for a brighter future in Afghanistan through education

PANJSHIR VALLEY, Afganistan, 8 November 2011 - In a neat, well designed classroom in the Panjshir Valley, 30 girls listen intently as their female teacher instructs them in grammar and writing. Although common today, this was largely unheard of only a decade ago. Under Taliban rule, schooling in Afghanistan was nearly brought to a complete halt, and many girls were expressly forbidden from receiving an education.
