In pictures: Afghan school life


'Good girls'

"I am Shazia and I am the only daughter of my parents. They always tell me that they want me to be educated because my parents work in the field all the time. We have a house in the mountains, but we don't have water, wood and food most of the time. I have learned a lot. In my village everyone tells their children, 'please learn from Shazia and attend school'.

"I love my school friends - they are very good girls."
