Afghani Girls Schools Appeal Letter

Dear friends,
Here are some pictures of a home school for girls in the city of Jalalabad,Afghanistan. This particular school and some other schools for the Afghan girls were established by our organization(MEPO) last summer.
Many girls like the ones you see in the pictures are staying home without
possibilities of any sort. These girls need to run the future of Afghan
society and yet are not even allowed to attend schools let alone to have any other choices in their future life, like that of their mothers.

I am turning to you without being embarrassed to beg. I need your help and
those girls need your help desperately. If we don't intervene now, later is
way too late for all of us. Each class of 30 students cost $270 per
YEAR(this includes teacher's salary, books, black board, toothpastes and
brushes)insideAfghanistan; and almost $500 in Afghan refugee camps in Pakistan (the reason for this difference is because life is much cheaper inside Afghanistan than Pakistan). This spring I am planning to go back to Afghanistan and Afghan refugee camps and I would like to increase the number of classes for the existing schools that we have established and hopefully to establish new ones. Remember you'll be helping not only the girls, but also the unemployed female teachers as well as the future of a culturally magnificent society. At this point I have nothing to offer you but my tears and energy.

Peace, Mostafa Vaziri
