    "Our Vision Green Village Schools is a Portland, Oregon, based non-profit organization committed to building a generation of hope in Afghanistan. Our vision is to foster schools in Afghanistan that offer children a basic education and empower young people and their communities to become actively engaged in building a future of hope for their country. Green Village Schools also seeks to build thriving communities through support to school health services for students and local villages. We believe that investing in the education and health of young people in Afghanistan will ensure a future of hope for the country. Current Status In March 2001, Dr. Mohammad Khan Kharoti, a US-based physician of Afghan origin, began supporting classes for 10 boys and six girls in the Kharoti family compound in the village of Shin Kalay in Helmand Province of southern Afghanistan. The following year construction began on a school in the same village and in December 2002 Green Village Schools was officially recognized as a charity in the United States. In the ensuing years the educational complex eventually comprised eight classrooms for boys on one side of the school and eight for girls on the other, providing space for nine grades. A well was dug and an elevated storage tank, separate latrines for boys and girls and a privacy wall around the entire complex were constructed. In addition, the complex contained a library which also served as a community center and a computer lab was under construction. By 2007, with about 800 boys and 400 girls and a teaching staff of 35, the school was licensed by the Ministry of Education in Afghanistan and they provided some financial support for teachers' salaries. Other support came from a diverse range of community and international partners. The Provincial Office of the Minister of Education records that over 2,400 students have attended the school during its short history. In October 2008, the school in Shin Kalay that had

  • n South Africa, as in most of Africa, boys are pressured into dropping out of school to earn money for their families, while pregnancy is the main reason girls leave school. She said South Africa has reached universal primary-school enrolment and has enrolment rates of 90% in secondary schools, and that girls are now in the majority at this level. While it initially appeared that there were more girls in South Africa's school system, studies showed that this was not because boys were dropping out more easily. "Instead, boys are flowing through the system more slowly than girls. Boys are repeating grades more frequently ... are dropping out of school and then coming back," Pandor said.

      This shows how there is a lack of education in Brazil.
  • The region of the Central North of Brazil is a region where there is lack of everything. Children do not go to school because there is no school. Having a job is a difficult task and then children start looking for a job to help the family necessities. Without jobs, children get involved with crimes and drugs, as an alternative to help their families. However, they do not just sell drugs to people who have money, but become users themselves. As a result, they quickly lose any funds they have and then turn to crime.

  • It was pointed out by the RETF in its last visit report that 15 classrooms of this school have been declared dangerous and the students in large number are sitting in open.
  • These dangerous classrooms may collapse anytime and this Nithari Village of Delhi may be converted into another Nithari of Noida by causing death to many children.  
  • Most of the classes were being held in the tents, in the open space and in the corridors. The tents were in very pathetic condition and there were big holes in these tents.

      The school doesn't even have water for the kids. Its dry and not good for them.
  • It was very difficult for RETF team to enter the school as the garbage dumb were there to block the entrance of the school. The drains outside the school were chocked due to which connecting roads to the schools were filled with the dirty water and mud. As the school is situated just adjoining to a cremation ground, the smell of burning dead bodies was making the whole atmosphere horrible. The foundation for school building was laid down on 05.12.20
