“I can finally read and write” – Afghan woman learning at the Good Samaritan Centre.
First day at school – “A new world is opening up”.
Next goal: a second language – “So I can feel at home”.
Saade has two boys aged three and seven. They are both immensely proud of their mother. The older one is incredibly happy that this mother is studying. He told her he would pray for her so that she might be strong at reading!
In addition to the classroom and practical support, Saade takes part in the workshops we offer teaching handicrafts and fabric dyeing. She hopes that learning about dyeing will help her gain a foothold into the clothing industry. We really admire Saade’s perseverance and her love of learning. She is a shining example for us and hopefully for many other women, too.
