Central Albertans continue to build new classrooms through A Better World Canada
An eighth school is nearing completion in Afghanistan through A Better World Canada’s 100 Classrooms project.
Azalea Lehndorff, project founder, said the only things left to be done on Project J, the 8th school being built, are paint and moving in furniture. Project J is located in Juwzjan in the Sheperghan district in Afghanistan and will serve students in grades 1 through 12.
“Project J is one example where they were using tents and a rented building [for the school] which is completely inadequate for the number of students that they have,” said Lehndorff.
One of the focuses for the 100 Classrooms project has been to provide safe environments for students both male and female, including safe and private bathrooms.
