Afghan students send their condolences to Sandy Hook students

Afghan students from a Kabul elementary and middle school contact Sandy Hook students to express sorrow and solidarity.

by Michael Decker (Dallas, TX)

As a board member for Afghans for Tomorrow, an organization promoting literacy and in particular female literacy in Afghanistan, I am relaying a profound but simple message from students at Tomorrow's Afghans School located in Kabul, Afghanistan.

On their own initiative, these students from 1st grade through middle school have created several posters conveying their feelings of sadness and solidarity with their fellow students at Sandy Hook Elementary in light of the recent tragedy.  They wanted to share how much the events in Newtown have profoundly impacted others all over the world who want to show support for your community and sorrow for your loss.
