Hassib is another 22-year-old boy who studies at Ustad Riaz Private High School and says, he spent around 5 years in Iran while Taliban was on Afghan power. Hence, he was held back from receiving education. He had been in Iran because of the lack of employment in Afghanistan.He says, “Now, I am studying at this private High School and my only objective is to bring development to Afghanistan.”
