Over the years, the Canadian Forces have established a tradition of organizing sports events to raise funds for humanitarian causes and to have money to build school for the Afghan children. Because the children of Afghanistan, specially the girls don’t go to school. Many schools in Afghanistan have been affected by the Taliban. Some schools have been totally destroyed. In Kabul, 25 schools were destroyed. Under the Taliban, girls couldn’t go to school. Now, because of the intervention of the Canadian army, girls are now permitted to go to school. Since the Canadian army arrived in Afghanistan, I personally think that the life of many girls in Afghanistan changed for the better. They can go school now and learn new things instead of staying home with their mother. The Canadian army raised fun for the schools, so they can buy some necessary school material. Because in the Afghan school they learn new things without all the material we use in our school in Quebec or all other rich countries. That’s why it’s great that the Canadian army is in Afghanistan to build some school and other useful stuff for the Afghanistan people which go to school.
