The new school year starts in April and the girls who have received scholarships are looking forward to the start of school. These girls would not be able to attend a prestigious private school and receive a quality education without the scholarship support. The girls are getting ready buying uniforms and stationary and other supplies ready for the year.
A number of the girls are part of the 30 strong Leadership Class and will be entering the second year of this comprehensive 2 year leadership training experience. Other female students are continuing to work on the Technovation Challenge computer programming contest. Students design apps that address social issues. The private school provides variety and depth in study including music, choral and instrumental, art, citizenship and school politics, art and language learning.
This project has been selected to compete for the 6 places in the Global Giving Girl Fund. This special fund will accrue donations all year and then be split between only 6 projects! Its a great opportunity!
Your donation of any amount will help us gain a place! Please be a donor we need ust another 8 donors to become eligible to compete for a place.
Thank you!

Girls Learn Leadership Skills

A number of the private school scholarship students are part of the special two year Leadership Class with is supported by AIL. There are 15 girls in the class.
In the past month, they learned about time, time management, the importance of being on time, efficient leadership, effectiveness, risk management and vision. Twice a month the students discuss current topics from the world or their lives and school. World Peace Day was discussed in December and the role of youth in peace. Students brainstormed ways to establish peace in their communities and how to improve the situation. The youth all committed to learn from the mistakes of today’s leaders and to work to improve things.
The youth went on a field trip to one of AIL’s Learning Centers, a district of Herat City. The students talked with staff and students at the center and learned about the problems faced by the community and what the LCs do to help. In the English section the students are checked weekly and have month long plans to follow. Regular evaluations are conducted and most recently it was found 95% of the youth would pass to the next level.
Thank you for your continued interest and we hope you will read the annual newsletter attached.
