By 2000, UNICEF reported that only 4 to 5% of Afghan children were being educated at the primary school level. Fewer still had access to secondary and university-level education.<\/p>\n

According to the World Bank, “Since 2002, more than 6 million students and teachers have returned to school.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The organization, Ayni Education International<\/a>, has certainly had a hand in the increasing education, especially for girls, in Afghanistan.\u00a0 Featured this week in the Seattle Times<\/a>, Ayni was founded by\u00a0Seattle based\u00a0Julia Bolz.<\/p>\n

From Ayni’s website, “Our main project, called\u00a0\u201cJourney with an Afghan School,” began just months after 9-11 and the Taliban were removed from power in Afghanistan. It is a grassroots project to build and supply schools for Afghan children.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With funds raised by communities across the country, we have defied all odds by building and supplying 19 new schools and repairing\u00a0over a dozen others, serving about 25,000 Afghan students. We also have provided wells; distributed text-books, school supplies and athletic equipment; provided teacher trainings; and set up libraries, computer centers and PTAs. Most recently, we set up two teacher training centers, training several hundred teachers.”<\/p>\n

As I continue\u00a0to add\u00a0to the \u201cCall to Action\u201d portion of a new website to be launched soon (www.stirringthefire.org<\/a>) I am continually amazed\u00a0by the extraordinary people\u00a0like Julia Bolz\u00a0that are making a difference.\u00a0 Thanks Julia for your wonderful work!<\/p>\n
