Cultural Exhange with Girls Learn International (GLI)

In this globalizing world we live in, peoples, ideas, and cultures are coming into contact with other at an increasing rate.  Therefore, cultural awareness, sensitivity, and understanding are of greater importance than ever before.  Help The Afghan Children (HTAC) has an on-going cultural exchange program that has tried to connect the children of Afghanistan with children in the United States in an effort to foster cross-cultural understanding.  As part of these efforts, HTAC works with Girls Learn International (GLI), an organization that advocates on behalf of underserved girls for the promotion of quality education for all girls.  Through GLI's program, HTAC has currently partnered the Badakhshi Girls' School in the Nejrab district of Kapisa province with the Hunter High School Chapter of GLI located in New York City.  The schools have exchanged letters and pictures describing themselves and expressing their excitement over being a part of sister schools that are connecting girls in New York, New York with girls as far away as Kapisa.  All the while, Hunter High School does the important work of raising funds to help support the education of their sisters in Badakhshi Girls' School.
