In pictures: Afghan school life


US helicopters

"I walk to my school for 45 minutes every day. Some days I am late, others I am on time. I have 12 girls who walk from our village, so we talk and walk. We study in the open air. It's hot, windy and other times it rains. We want proper rooms where there is no noise from people or American helicopters. I want to be a politician in the future, so my village can have a good school for our girls."
