#Wakhan corridor, #Afghanistan. Children attend a government school in Sust, while a new CAI school is going up next door, to feed the need for more classrooms. One class is temporarily studying in a tent in front of the government school. ⠀ ⠀ While #donations from CAI's generous family of #supporters provide much of the materials needed to build a school many materials are crafted on site. The knowledgeable local tradesmen are well versed in #construction techniques that can withstand the extreme conditions of the area.⠀ ⠀ Photo by Ellen Jaskol.⠀ ⠀ #peacethrougheducation #educateagirlchangetheworld #roofoftheworld #girlseducation #globalgoals #62million #girlpower #photooftheday #peace #picoftheday #moment #capture #instagood #girl #school http://ift.tt/2r2Gw0n

Could you see the chalkboard in a dark classroom? Could you focus on the day’s lesson with water leaking onto your desk? Could you sit through 3 hours of school without a bathroom break?⠀ ⠀ Environment has a big impact on a child’s ability to learn.⠀ ⠀ Together, let’s give the children of Central Asia the environment they deserve. Join CAI in our spring campaign to build schools, repair old ones, and provide the materials necessary for great learning environments.⠀ ⠀ .⠀ #unstoppable #unstoppablegirls #peacethrougheducation #educateagirlchangetheworld #scholarshipstudents #forHER #globalgoals #62million #girlpower #photooftheday #peace #picoftheday #moment #capture #instagood #girl #school #quicklearning #afghanistan #kabul #protecttheinnocent #bethechange #weareone #wearetheoneswevebeenwaitingfor #girlseducation #girlseducationtheunstoppablerevolution #unstoppablegeneration http://ift.tt/2nALnD6

#Afghanistan produces the second largest population of #refugees in our world.

A #portal is a gateway to another place, physically and metaphorically.⠀ ⠀ Webster’s Dictionary defines it this way:⠀ ⠀ Portal: a doorway, gate, or other entrance, especially a large and elaborate one.⠀ ⠀ Please view this #PhotoEssay by following the link in our profile.⠀ ⠀ Like photography itself, portals offer a look at something we wouldn’t otherwise see – whether it’s a peek through a keyhole or a glance out the window.⠀ ⠀ And by looking, we learn.⠀ ⠀ #peacethrougheducation #phtography #photooftheday #afghanistan http://ift.tt/2lHYTsC

The young generation of #Afghanistan, #Pakistan, & #Tajikistan are tired of #conflict and hungry for change.⠀ ⠀ Over the course of CAI's 20 year history we have found that educating girls has the most benefit for communities. Girls tend to stay in their local communities where they in turn educate their families and and their children.⠀ ⠀ By assisting this generation of students to achieve their dreams we are helping them create opportunities to improve the lives of everyone around them. Together we can #changetheworld. ⠀ ⠀ .⠀ #unstoppable #unstoppablegirls #peacethrougheducation #educateagirlchangetheworld #scholarshipstudents #forHER #globalgoals #62million #girlpower #photooftheday #peace #picoftheday #moment #capture #instagood #girl #school #quicklearning #protecttheinnocent #bethechange #weareone #wearetheoneswevebeenwaitingfor #girlseducation #girlseducationtheunstoppablerevolution #unstoppablegeneration http://ift.tt/2lcLes3
