This summer, diploma in hand, Saleem plans on returning to Afghanistan to oversee the schools and plan her next steps with her husband, a doctor who has supported Saleem's own quest for education from their home in Afghanistan. The news is not good back home, she says. Earlier this month prominent Afghani women's rights activist Sitara Achikzai was murdered outside her home in Kandahar province, and the Taliban claimed responsibility. "I'm not concerned for me but I am concerned for my girls, the students. Really, for everyone," she says. But she won't quit, not as long as the students show up.

    There was a 'deep past cause' behind this negative matter that really occured.
    So therefore in what we can see or hear; As a consequence of this, we are witnessing
    the present day effects; Which is beyond physical reform and comprehension.

    It is quite obvious that these people need 'sincere genuine help' and positive support;
    I highly recommend to anyone, to pay a vist to these three websites.

    "They are:- www.poetry4charity.webs.com www.wix.com/givehelp/donate www.4wisdom.synthasite.com
    Please! Spread the good word in what you have read & heard. All for love."

    koran insists on educating the woman as they are the future of the nation as they mould the destiny of a humanity by being the mother -and thus must be educated -

    the talibanistan is a result of a degenerate war and utter poverty resulting from the degenerate last 3 decades and do not reflect any islamic model or koran

    AFGHANISTAN HAS BECOME A MISERABLE AND RAVAGED RUIN WITH TOTAL POVERTY AND NO INFRASTRUCTURE
