With the hard work of our primary Field Director, Mumtaz Alam, overseeing our Girls High School project we hope to have one of our primary 2014 goals of constructing an additional classroom scheduled for use by our soon to be 10th grade students beginning in April 2015 met. Partial construction is to begin this month with plans to complete construction in February 2015.

This past 2013-2014 school year we had 72 girl students from 6th grade through 9th grade being educated in the village of Minawar, Pakistan and expect that number to increase during our current 2014-2015 cycle. None of this would be possible without your support and encouragement:)

IThis year is about to get a lot more interesting so future updates will be coming as progress continues to be made:) Thank you all for your support.

The Taliban might be against girls being educated, but they are not the only problem.
