Dear Friend,
I’m thrilled to announce the remarkable success of our digital education initiative. Initially, there were reservations about the viability of online education for Afghan girls due to their unfamiliarity with digital platforms. Surprisingly, our 29 students have taken to online learning with great enthusiasm. Please listen to one of our online students here: https://youtu.be/WhYW0VgkwT0.
Three students participated in our online event, from Afghanistan. The recording is viewable here: (1) Online Event March 2024 - YouTube.
These girls have found unknown potential within themselves. Fouzia says, “I love to become a programmer. This class has changed my life.” Attached, you will find notes from our students.
We’ve invested in computers for the most engaged and high-performing students, aiming to provide every student with this vital resource. This also motivates them to dedicate themselves more fully to their studies.
We’re eager to bring this transformative educational opportunity to even more students, as we’re inundated with requests each week. Your support is essential to this endeavor. I invite you to help spread the word and introduce our program to your circle. We need more computers ($250 each), internet access ($15 per month), and volunteer instructors. With your support, we aim to grow our reach to 200 students by the year’s end.
I extend my deepest gratitude for your support and for being with us during these difficult times. It means a lot to me, our team, and, most importantly, our students in Afghanistan.
Warmly
Hassina Sherjan
