In May, 2011, with the support of the community, AIL opened the Gawhar Shad Begum Library and Research Center in Herat City. This Library is located in the Gawhar Shad Mausolem in the historical Gawhar Shad Musalla complex that dates from the 15th century and is currently being rehabilitated. Upon the opening of the library, the Manager of the Cultural Affairs Department in Herat requested that all teachers provide one book to the library. Within days, they received more than 1,000 books from students and teachers at the Gawhar Shad High School in Herat.
The Afghan people are pulling together to rehabilitate their country and restore their ancient historical sites and shrines. They desire to build a better, stronger and independent Afghanistan.
