This past month, I have been meeting with and sometimes even teaching girls and boys from different schools around Jalalabad, from grade school level to university classes. Thanks to Steve Brown and Fari Moini from La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary Club, Internet is available in 8 high schools around the city, Nangahar University, Nangahar Public Hospital and the Nangahar Medical School - this is a big deal. Its amazing to think what two people that come to Jalalabad a couple times a year in their free time are able to accomplish so much with so little…You can imagine how important it is for education and healthcare facilities to be connected to the internet, especially considering Jalalabad is the political, economic, and cultural center for eastern Afghanistan and the capital of Nangarhar, perhaps the most densely populated province in Afghanistan.

The Bibi Zainab Girls School, which we visited next, has 6,000 female students that attend in two shifts. It seemed like both shifts were there at the same time when we arrived. It is next to impossible to describe what it is like being at this school with so many female Afghan students during their recess - girls just being girls. I felt like I could be in any part of the world. They have a very strong female teacher in the lab who is a graduate of the GCE Program, Salema. Salema asked me to return to teach a class on management and leadership for the girls computer class. It was hard to leave because they had so much interest in talking to us and I had so many questions for them too. Leaving when all 6,000 girls were at recess in the yard didn’t help either.
