How can Australian schools help?
Students and schools here in Australia have been involved in raising funds and donating resources to their fellow students in Afghan schools through Schools Promise. They have achieved this in a variety of ways: through special events and assemblies, through mufti days, stationery drives and staff collections. Funds raised have reached Afghanistan through personal contact by Mahbobas offices in Sydney and in Kabul and have been used to buy such basic items as generators, shoes and stationery. The money is also used for hiring teachers and other ancillary staff. As a Schools Promise member school, there is no pressure for a certain amount of money to be raised.
