Recently, AIL staff traveled from the head office in Kabul out to Daikundi Province. This is one of the most deprived areas and lacks facilities. It is a 24 hour walk from Kabul and many of the roads are difficult for vehicles to pass. The people are very poor but eager to learn and improve their lives. AIL provided a series of teacher training seminars, workshops and delivered food aid.
The staff were delighted to attend the graduation ceremony for the computer class at one of the Daikundi Province learning centers. 100 students, including male and female, received their certificates of achievement and all were very appreciative of the through grounding in computing skills that they had received. AIL started this center 10 years ago and thousands of students have graduated from it with a range of employable skills.
Mohammad said, “Students are happy to learn computing and most have gained practical work skills in computing. I do computer printing works in the city of Nili of the province. I am paid 7 thousand Afghani salary each month and this means I am self-supporting and can help my elderly father. This course changed my life.”
