DELARAM DISTRICT CENTER, Afghanistan – Teachers in one Afghan school might have a harder time keeping their students under control thanks to the local police.
Afghan police from Delaram District Center installed two new swings at the Delaram Boy’s High School May 17, to the delight of many of the younger students. About 800 boys in grades five through 11 attend daily.
The police also brought donated supplies for the school including shoes, books and sports equipment.
The school principal, who requested not to be named, said he was happy the police came and put the swings up, but was most pleased with the books and other school supplies. He said education is the most important thing for the young Afghans.
The children, being children, were more pleased with what was on the playground.
They were hesitant at first about trying the new swings, but about 50 students were seen crowding around the set, anxious for a turn after the group of police and others who visited the school left.
Spirit of America, a non-governmental organization, donated the swings. The school supplies and other donations came from several individuals and organizations including members of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and stateside schools.
