Most coverage about Afghanistan
in today’s media is about the endless violence and pointless deaths every day. What’s
more important and meaningful in the country is the education of the children
and their future. Every country across the world has its own beliefs and values
that differ from the next country, but one belief is universal worldwide, and
that belief is “knowledge is power.”
Though Afghanistan is an impoverished territory that is
ridden with corruption and day to day extremism, many people there are still
positive minded and looking forward to the future because of the opportunity
for learning. Needless to say, the citizens there are serious about their children’s
education and want to progress as a nation.
Optimized curriculum alone inside the classroom will not
push education in Afghanistan into
overdrive. To speed up the process, access to the World Wide Web is more than a
necessity, it is vital for the new generations of people in the country. With
this essential need, organizations like Film Annex have stepped up to the plate
with mind, body, and soul to help out.
Just this month a fourth Internet classroom was built from
the floor up with everything from furniture to full computer and network
hardware. And this was just at one school, Qowaye Chahar Zarehdar. Film Annex’s
efforts to establish the internet inside school classrooms continues on beyond
this location. Current progress is moving forward to build internet classrooms
inside Hatifi High School as well, which is also in Herat.
With more and more schools gaining this much needed access
to the internet, every time a new internet classroom opens the brighter the
future looks for Afghanistan. This
may be hard to believe with the constant drama there, but brains will beat out
the ignorance in the long run.
