"Sepas Gozar Astom Ba Shoma"
I extend my tashakurs (thanks) to the entire UMCOR Afghanistan crew. Together we delivered 2,389 education kids to our ASCHIANA girls and boys. ASCHIANA operates schools and three outreach centers in Kabul, where children can attend school. In all three the learning takes place inside big, drafty tents; one tent for girls and one tent for boys. The children sit closely together on plastic tarps on the floor, all eyes on the teacher standing at the front of the tent.
Without the help of UMCOR and the generosity of United Methodists from Western countries, these days of joy would not have been possible. Sepas gozar astom ba shoma-I am grateful to you, all of you. Our Aschiana kids are happy. Man bessyr cashall astom-I am very happy.Praise be to Allah, to God.
