Please help me out. Please take a few seconds out of your busy lives to read this post. That would be great.
Referring back to Islam & the Role of Education, while Islam promotes education for all, this idea is not implemented in Muslim countries like it should. In fact, many areas use Islam as a basis to discriminate against women in attaining an education. Ironic, isn't it?
One of these places is Afghanistan. For quite a while, education for girls was banned in many areas of Afghanistan. I don't think I need to explain the consequences of such a large portion of a population being uneducated.
This is where the help comes in. I am currently working with a great teacher at Fort Defiance High School, Ms. Bruce Hemp, to play a role in ending this inequality. Ms. Hemp is using her connections to send school items overseas to a small girls' school in the northern Helmand province of Afghanistan. Here are some of the pictures of the school and the children that will be benefiting from this cause that she shared with me.
As you can see, the school has no benches or boards or any of the items that we would find to be a given in a classroom. Anyone out there that wants to directly contribute, you can sponsor a chalk board for $45 or a bench for $50. Just think about how many people you would be helping with just a few dollars, and this includes the shipping estimate for these items! Also, I would love for people who want to write letters to these children to contact me. Just comment below if you are interested in either of these options and I will get back with you.
