Latest Update from the Field

100 Mothers Literacy Program update

By Rahila Muhibi - Founder, July 29, 2009 10:20 AM

I am very happy to announce that we just finished the 6th month of literacy courses with 60 mothers. Since, we work in the very remote areas of Afghanistan, the villagers are nomads and its their travel season; therefore, we will not be holding any literacy courses till October 2009. However, we are working very hard to organize the upcoming literacy classes with alot of energy.
As we progress in our endeavors, the updates will be made.
