Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Afghan-Canadian Community Centre in Kandahar" in English language version.
The Afghan-Canadian Community Centre, where thousands of girls and women have braved Taliban threats to get an education, needs more than $500,000 by month's end to avoid severe cutbacks, said Ryan Aldred, who heads a charity that supports the school.
But Ottawa agreed this week to send another $250,000 to keep the school open for the next year while the main charity supporting it tries to find ways to end its constant financial struggle to survive.
Despite the danger hundreds of female students come to the community centre in Kandahar city to take courses in English, business management and information and computer technology. They also take online correspondence courses from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in Calgary.
As director the Afghan-Canadian Community Centre in Kandahar and as a school teacher and principal, I was deeply saddened and outraged to hear about the United Nations employees who were killed in cold blood on Friday in Mazar-i-Sharif.
