As part of our Bridging the Digital Divide literacy program, eight Afghani women visited the Day Home in June 2005. This visit was part of an exchange between Chico State University, Saint Vincent’s and this delegation from Afghanistan.

The exchange is designed to help us share methodologies and systems to ensure that all children and adults have a chance to succeed in life. These Afghani educators are working to instruct other women in Afghanistan who have been denied the opportunity to learn.

One of the hopes is that these previously uneducated women will be able to teach their children basic skills and get them ready to start school.
