Kabul woman teaches street children for free

Amid the Taliban restrictions on education, a Kabul woman, Soda Najhand is providing free education classes for children working as street vendors.

Najhand, a high school graduate, said that children are taught for at least three hours a day in one of the Kabul parks, reported Tolo News.

I started teaching them Dari first–to teach them how to read–and then step by step I started teaching them math and the Quran.

They (students) are now even excited to learn English, Najhand said. The children said they have a great desire for education and want a brighter future.

Over 30 students participate in the classes. These children were first begging but I encouraged them to work and stop begging.
