With increased popularity of ACCC in offering valuable professional development education to the people of Kandahar , Mahmood Noorzai, one of ACCC’s friends, donated $100 to ACCC. Let’s thank him for his very kind and generous donation and make sure his money is spent effectively.
Dear students and teachers of ACCC, please let me know where to spend this money at ACCC?
All the best.

Hello to All
I hope every one is doing well. I think we are very lucky by having these kind of kind people in our country. And we have to thank him and wish him all the best in his whole works. I think we have to spend the money in buying headphones because, headphones are very important for skype classes and video conferences.

Sir Ehsan, as you have mentioned that let me know where to spend this amount of money at ACCC,
So in my point of view as summer is coming soon if you may spend this amount of money for purchasing a Refrigerator to have cold water and it will be a great reward to you and to Mr.Mahmood sahib also it will be great for Teachers, students and as well for guests.
Once again thanks from your Support

Your student Razia.

Dear all,
First of all I would like to thank Mr. Mahmood Noorzai for his kindness and generosity.
Dear sir Ehsan,
You are the head of ACCC and you know better than us where to spend the amount of money donated by Mr. Mahmood Noorzai. According to my idea you have provided us everything. You can use it for the other plans that you have for the ACCC such as IRC and may be for some other plans that we don’t know about them yet.
Sincerely,
Yalda Samih

The univesr:
This monotheism of the Holly Qur’an is not marely an intellected one, thinking that the origion of Universe is one thing and its creator is another.
It includes the faith and conviction of man there is only one creator, and his goals, which is the only worthy one, is He alone, All other goals are the product of this one and subsidiary to it.
February 12th, 2010 at 11:05 pm
Salam,
I felt happy when I saw Mr. Ehsan’s comment that Mohmood Noorzai donated to the ACCC, Mohamood Noorzai did a bravo job because the donation he gave to the ACCC will support afghan youth education, I hope all Afghanis think about their future generation and keep up such donation to the ACCC or other educational sectors, we the new generation really need such donations in the field of education.
I think where ever you spend this money at ACCC it will help in any section.
With best regards,

The school I love most is Afghan Canadian Center, ACC. It taught me skill that took me to get a job, a good job, good paying job with a humanitarian organization in Helmand. Now I am helping myself, my family and the poor people here.
I graduated Kandahar university, but my English and computer skills were not good and I could not get a job I needed to help me and my family to make money to be enough for our family need. First I did not have money to pay for a tuition, I did not have money to come to ACC by bus or taxi. I always was walked a long way. Many people teasing me in the way. It was very difficult. But I was studyng and ACC was helping me. They found a teacher to teach me AutoCad program. They also found a teacher for me to teach me computer and English free. We were three girls. After we studied and learned these courses, two of us got jobs.
My sister also learned computer, English and data base programs. My sister also got a job two months ago.
Now my family and my class fellow family are living very, very good life. We are not poor now we are wealthy now. I love ACC. It changed my life and the lives of many poor men and women.
Now my brother is graduating soon from ACC. And my two sisters are studying also there. Mr Ehsan, just like our father is working very hard to help all people very much. Just like many people in Kandahar, We are praying for him, my mother and father are praying for him and his kind office staff and teachers. His teachers are also very kind to the students. They are very helping. Canada people are also helping him this is good news. ACC is very good. We all love it.

A short essay for women!
Growing up female in world is harder than ever. Media and peer pressure, teenage sexual category and self-discipline, friendships and relationships – they all cause difficulties in your life when you are just trying to make it to adulthood.
One of the primary rights of every human being is right to be treated comparatively, and women are not omission of this one. This discrimination has various forms such as wage-gap, preventing to gain key position, and even accustomed work involvement in the society. This kind of discrimination is done by the society itself.
The second aspect of discriminating is preventing women from further job promotion, for many instances, the governmental company manager, president, and director of public educational institute.
The last but not the least form of women workplace distinguishes from men is restricting women to elementary jobs such as house keeper, cook, primary school teacher which is more recurrent in 3rd world countries. In these societies, there is a firm belief on keeping women away communal communications. This misleading notion is mostly because of cultural and religious conceptions. As an example, in Islamic countries such as Saudi Arabia, or Afghanistan, women are just considered as house keepers and responsible of raising child.
In summary, we could terminate that discrimination aligned with women is still one of the unfairness that every society confront with. I hope that not only the women struggle for their right, but also men become their backers for obtaining the basic right of each woman.
As I have collected few lines and simple example of women in military in war l
In 1941, the New York Herald Tribune published a letter from a woman who was exhausted of sitting at home worrying about the war. “If I were only a man, there would be a place for me,” she wrote. Many women shared similar feelings of irritation, keen to play an active role in the conflict, but held back because by law and tradition. But as the war escalated, many countries found they could not afford to exclude half of their adult populations and doors began to open for women. They went to work in factories. Capital cities became overrun with female office workers. Nurses joined the front line troops. And many women were allowed to fly.

In the name of Allah
This is I Masoma Kefayee one of Business Communication student. I am going to tell you a short report of my Business Communication course that I have finished.
Before I started this course I didn’t know more about professional writings which include the assignments of this course.
In fact, I didn’t know about its advantages, but when I started this course, I learned more things according to Business Communication book, course content which provided us more and useful information, and all assignments like writing resume, cover letter, business letter, memorandum, research report, and oral presentation.
This Business Communication course improved my English also in all writing, reading, speaking, and understanding cases.
It was an easy and interesting course for me.
I am very happy to finish this course because now I know those things which I didn’t know before and I will use them in case of my country’s improvement and development.
Best regards,
Masoma Kefayee
