After a long time Afghan people witnessed an important achievement of Afghanistan national football team; Afghanistan attended South Asian football matched and became the champion. This victory shows that Afghans have the capability if they have good opportunity and security in their country. All Afghan people from different nationalities celebrated this big achievement by gathering on the streets. I remember when the referee whistled and announced the end of the game and Along with that the championship of Afghanistan National Team, all my neighbors came out of their homes to the street shouting “we are winner”. They were covering themselves with Afghanistan flag. Boys and some girls drew Afghanistan’ flag on their faces and hands, it was an amazing moments that I have seen after a long time in Herat and these happiness made us hopeful about the future of Afghanistan.

Recently Afghan citadel and Film Annex opened the 10th Internet classroom in Herat, Afghanistan. Afghan students want education to bring peace in Afghanistan, they all wants to learn new technologies to develop the country. We all should try to provide the opportunities for Afghan students, as they are the most important part of this country and they are the only people that can help Afghanistan. However there are many attacks and problems but we hope enhancing the people knowledge can effect on the people who intend to do such attacks.
Once again Film Annex and Afghan Citadel bring happiness for Afghan students and made them be hopeful about the future. I am proud to be part of Afghan Development Project in Afghanistan and invite every single person in Afghanistan to join this process and everyone should try to bring peace in Afghanistan.
