AT THE UNIVERSITY OF KABUL

My classroom had no electricity and no heat. I had one textbook and a piece of chalk. There was no water.
My students were young men and women who were attending Kabul University to prepare themselves to become teachers and engineers.
The young men and women sat on different sides of the room.
There was absolute silence in the room. I had never experienced such polite and reserved students.
