Stories to Share

By Alison Hendry | Administrative Assistant

We’d like to share the story of Omid, a student of one of AIL’s centers in Mir Bacha Kot. This grassroots center was begun in 2003, and the following story shows the importance of these centers.

My name is Omid, I live in Mir Bacha Kot and am a student in grade 5. I am studying English at the AIL center in my village, and I have finished two levels of this course. I am very lucky to be a student here because my teacher is very talented. He uses new teaching methods and is a very hardworking teacher. He gives us speeches, reading and writing homework and he checks our work regularly. My father is illiterate and cannot help me when I have problems with my school work. It is important to me to become educated so that day by day my situation in life can improve.

Another wonderful story that we’d like to share is that of Mursal, a computer student in one of AIL’s grassroots centers.

My name is Mursal, I am a student at one of AIL’s centers. I love to learn, and when I saw that my friends were able to use computers and speak English, the international language, I began seeking a good course that would suit our cultural life. After a long time I found this center and saw that it was appropriate for me and I joined. Now I am studying Math, English and Computers. I am so happy to have a computer class here because many of the students really needed to learn computers as well as English. We want to thanks the AIL Office for establishing this class for us. We wish them the best of luck.
