Building Up Afghanistan

Today, efforts are being made in Afghanistan to build up the country, with a special emphasis on constructing more much needed educational centers. Hamed Wardak is an Afghan-American who has been seeking to improve conditions for the people of Afghanistan for many years. Local land owners - in conjunction with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) – banded together to create an additional five school buildings for the country’s southwestern province of Nimroz. UNICEF donated $350,000 to the project. What this means for those children who will be direct beneficiaries of this project is being able to study in a building, rather than a tent. The schools will be available for both boys and girls.
