Happy Faces of Kabul

21 year old Mursal Tura dreams of being a successful businesswoman. Her interest lies in the garment industry and with support from her family, one day Mursal hopes to be a leading fashion entrepreneur in Afghanistan. While her future looks bright, the college student does not have fond memories of her time in secondary school, "when I attended school, we had very poorly constructed classes, there was no playground, we didn't have proper toilets, and most importantly I never felt like coming to school", says the business accounting graduate while visiting her old school called Rabia Balkhi in downtown Kabul. "Look at the school now, there are trees and shades everywhere, the school has a fully furnished and equipped science laboratory and library, there is a high boundary wall that secures the school and provides privacy to girls. The new classrooms are spacious and airy, I see happy and excited students playing and running around everywhere, a new beginning for girls to play freely in school it's so different from when I studied here a few years ago".
