NONIS, Afghanistan — The Charysab District, south of Kabul, has a shining new light for their children and for the future of their district as a new school facility provides a fresh direction for the future of the village of Nonis.
This new school will support 400 students as it is currently designed. The design of this school allows for future growth if required, by allowing for additional floors to be added which will provide more classroom space as the population continues to grow. The current village's population is approximately 2200.
"As the students enter here, they will be offered the opportunity to grow all the way through high school level," said Jamal-Mir Jamal, chief of the local police district.
"This district is a great example of cooperation between local leaders and the central government," said Asif Nang, communications director for the Ministry of Education. "Working with Americans has brought this school here and the local leaders of this village have been a large reason for the success of this project."
Lt. Col Reginald Neal, commander of Task Force Kabul, expressed great excitement for the completion of this project.
"As an educator, I appreciate the cooperative spirit of the Afghan government and the local leaders to make this project come to fruition. It is an excellent opportunity for the future of this region."
The local elders came together to show their appreciation of all those who brought this school to their area.
"We are extremely grateful to the government for looking to Charysab for this school. Our children will benefit from this school for years to come," said Nazar Mohamad one of the local elders of the village.
"The children who attend school here will be the future elders of this district. So the better educated they are, the better they will be prepared to lead this village," said Neal.
As schools like this open all over the country, the future will continue to burn bright for the country of Afghanistan. It is the children who will be the future leaders of their country and as they become better educated citizens, they will have the opportunity to take their country in a positive direction.
