About time to update our dear followers about our activities: here is a recent picture taken outside Kabul of some of our teachers celebrating the fourth anniversary of Wave of Hope’s girls’ schools in Afghanistan. We still have nine schools running, which means that more than a thousand girls above the age of twelve get a possibility to continue their education. We are endlessly grateful for the courage and efforts of our teachers.
We take the opportunity to forward the following beautiful report from one of our teachers in the north of Afghanistan:
“Dear respected teachers and supporters,
We hope this message finds you healthy, happy, and full of hope.
This is a report from Wave of Hope for the Future School in ###, led by teachers Ms. NN and Ms. MM.
Together, we dedicate all our efforts to creating the best possible learning environment for the girls, a place where they can continue their education with hope, dignity, and confidence.
At our school, the following subjects are taught:
* Holy Quran
* Farsi-Dari language
* Literacy education
* Mathematics
* English language
* Calligraphy
* Success and motivation lessons
In addition to academic subjects, we also teach creative and vocational skills such as:
* Sewing and tailoring
* Traditional embroidery
* Arts and crafts based on the girls’ interests and talents
One of the classes dearest to my heart is a special space I have created called the “Thinking Room.” In this class, girls are given the opportunity to think freely, far away from worries and hardships. They write about their dreams, imagine their futures, and see themselves as the people they aspire to become whether as a president, a teacher, or anything else their bright and beautiful minds can envision.
Beyond education, I strive to create moments of joy and peace for these girls. In this room, we leave behind formalities and the traditional distance between teacher and student. Instead, we become friends. We play games, laugh together, challenge our minds through word games, riddles, lip-reading activities, and creative thinking exercises.
I deeply believe that girls need more than lessons alone. Alongside education, they need encouragement, emotional support, hope, and a warm, caring environment where they feel valued and understood.
I thank God every day for blessing me with this sacred responsibility.
My greatest dream is that one day I can see the dreams of these girls whom I lovingly call “my daughters,” regardless of their age. I truly believe that a warm and compassionate environment can have a far greater impact on learning than strict formalities ever could.
Today, our school has more than ninety students, most of whom are above seventh grade level. Classes are conducted in three shifts from 1:30 PM until 4:30 PM each day.
Unfortunately, because our classrooms are very small, we are currently unable to accept more students, despite the great number of girls who are eager to learn and join our school.
With respect and hope,
NN
Director of XX School – ###»
