Date: 13 Oct 2009 – Schooling for Afghan girls remains a focus of Germany’s reconstruction aid.Six hundred girls will now be taught in the new building of the Mario Keller Girls’ School in the village of Shuduj in Northern Afghanistan’s Shegnan District. The school was named in memory of a German police officer killed in Kabul in 2007.
The new school building was opened with a moving ceremony on 10 October 2009. In future girls from the region can have lessons in a proper environment rather than in temporary buildings and tents.
Not only the girls themselves but the whole village celebrated the long-awaited move into the eight large and well-lit classrooms.
