Students at the Irshad Secondary School for Girls wave flags and display flowers as they sing and chant during the opening ceremony of the school, Feb. 26. The school enrolls the top 20th percentile of girls aged 13-15 from Diwaniya and surrounding areas.
A nice story and one that should be viewed from the point that all of these girls have a chance to improve their lives and advance their nations prosperity.
A gifted school for girls, I wish the left can explain how this is all part of a neo-con plot?
by Sgt. Rodney Foliente 4th Infantry Division CAMP ECHO, Iraq (March 9, 2009) — Some of Diwaniya’s brightest female students happily participated in their new school’s opening, Feb. 26.
The Irshad Secondary School for Girls, which enrolls some of the brightest teen girls in the city, was built by the Army Corps of Engineers working with the local government, contractors and laborers.
“With my partners, the Iraqi engineers, and with diligent effort, we were able to provide for you this beautiful school,” said Lt. Col. Dwight Davies, with the Corps of Engineers. “It is a great joy and privilege to provide an opportunity for such gifted young ladies to learn and evolve and support the future of Iraq.”
The students of this school are among the top 20 percent of young female students from within and around the city.“We are happy for this school. It is very nice,” said a young student in English.She then showed off and said it in French and Arabic.
Somewhat ott, but people can still donate either money or school supplies to Gary Sinise's charity, Operation Iraqi Children
