But brave mothers who were keen to see that their girls receive education organised ‘Home Schools’ a unique strategy to overcome the difficulties. This happened in the major towns of Afghanistan both in Kabul and Kandahar. These conducted in secrecy. I remember visiting such a school in Kabul .I was advised by the head teacher not to stay in the school for more than 10 minutes and to leave the UN vehicle far away from the premises, which I honored. .In Kandahar I remember UNHCR supported a home school project providing a) text books b) written materials c) training teachers d) inviting Taliban education officers to Islamabad for a briefing etc. This was not to the liking of some other UN agencies! Sometimes I feel that some UN agencies have also acted irrationally.

.I remember Mullah Hassan’s statement to me when he said that ‘ In as much as the Talibans have extremists (opposing education for girls ) the UN too has such persons who do tit for tat for the poor Afghans’.. This project of Home Schools in Kandahar was entirely done with the consent of Mullah Hassan. Few know about this operation.
The lesson is that ‘help the poor and powerless irrespective of opposition so long it is of beneficial to them. AVOID HIDDEN AGENDAS’..
