Dear Friends and Supporters,
While the situation of Afghan children is still critical from many perspectives, disabled children frequently confront additional barriers as the social stigma and isolation from the community. Kabul's Rahyab School, where nearly 450 disabled children receive daily education, is preparing to start a new school year at the end of March. The school presents an academic opportunity for disabled Afghan children and allows them to develop the future employment skills.
Action for Development continues its focus on strengthening the primary children's rights to education and health, with special regard to disabled and disadvantaged young people. The organization admits that these rights are vital for the economic, social and cultural development of all societies. Thanks to generous donations of our donors, the organization plans to further support schools meals for the students during the next school year. Through the support for disabled children, we aim to provide an encouragement to their parents by keeping them happy about the progress their children make in learning communication and professional skills and giving them confidence in their children's future.
At the beginning of the school year, AfD has the ambition to take action in order to encourage Rahyab teachers and administration to integrate more physical activities into school's routine. This is actually already happening: Rahyab students enjoy playing football during breaks between classes. The organisation is looking for possibilities to improve their sports experience by engaging a professional coach, provisioning in equipment and organising a sports ground.
We look to the next school year with a great expectancy, that Rahyab's children will enjoy their classes and leisure time at school. AfD remains an active supporter of the school, which brings a hope. We believe that education is the only way to bring sustainable peace not only into the families of disabled children but also to the country.
Thank you for your generosity and kindness.
Best regards,
AfD's team
