It was embedded in a master plan developed by the German students that was executed parallel by local workers under the direction of the GiZ/ AGEF in Kabul.
The Soria High School is a Girls school and was completely destroyed by the civil war. When we arrived, the girls where taught in two shifts, two classes a time in tents from the UNO.
After the projects was finished, colored school pavilions and the two extra facilities used as Library and Teachers Assembly-Room where occupied.
