“Promoting Understanding About Afghanistan”
Constant war in Afghanistan has adversely affected its education system. As an exchange student from Afghanistan, I wanted to help educate others on this issue and also help enhance their education system for my Gold Award. I wanted to populate a library in Kabul. To do this, I gave 15 presentations, which reached about 500 people. I got book and shipping donations from different people and organizations, including the Lamia Afghan Foundation. I plan to continue collecting books to send to this library. (Zahra returned to Afghanistan in May 2011.)
