www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday November 15, 2008 - 7 Making dreams come true for Afghan girls in the classroom Continued from page 6 security concerns around this new school she says, "She feels confident that nothing will happen here because the community wouldn't let it." That's how invested these people are in this poor, rural community that wants desperately to have their children, especially their girls educated. CSAW's goal is to raise $30,000 before the end of December as our contribution to the total construction cost of $70,000 U.S. funds. This school must be completed before the cold, winter weather sets in causing repeated damage to already battered tents and forcing some school children to remain at home. Dream with Nazaneen, dream with CSAW and dream with Oakville's own renowned, author and committed feminist Sally Armstrong. Please attend our school building fundraiser on Nov. 23 at St. John's United Church, 262 Randall St. in Oakville at 2 p.m. where keynote speaker Sally Armstrong talks about her new book on Afghanistan, Bitter Roots, Tender Shoots: The Uncertain Fate of Afghanistan's Women. Tickets are only $25 (a $20 tax receipt will be given). Tickets can be purchased at St. John's or by phoning Daniela at 289242-4135. Or if you are unable to attend but would like to contribute, make your cheques out to Rights and Democracy and on the memo line put CSAW/School Building and send your donations to CSAW 1515 Rebecca St., Suite 227, Oakville, Ont. L6L 5G8 Let us leave you with this thought on Afghanistan from Amnesty International, "The failure of state institutions to protect women's human rights, to ensure abusers are brought to justice and provide redress, points to official apathy towards, and at times blatant sanctioning of, violence against women." For them it is a dream. For us it is a dream. Won't you dream with us?
