Afghanistan

I am Salman Haleemi, Patriot Afghan who grew up in a refugee camp in Pakistan.Being a refugee and living my early life in a tent on foreign soil, may seem a little too hard for others but not for a guy who had ambitions that spoke to stars at a very young age. I am a Petroleum Engineer with a great ambitions to work for my country Afghanistan in an Energy sector.As Afghanistan from the past 40 years is in the war zone, which destroyed everything including peace, education, comfort. The people here are very conservative and doesn’t know the importance of education. Most of the people in Afghanistan are against girls education, they prefer their should stay at home rather to be educated. When I got to know about all these difficulties girls are facing so I started my struggle to tell people about the importance of Girls education and I myself started teaching a school to educated girls I teach more than 200 girls now they are persuing there degree in different fields.
