Ashyane Ketab Library
Ashyane Ketab (ASHK) was founded in the winter of 2018 and is located in the Kart-e-Sulh school in Bamiyan province of Afghanistan. The project was carried out by Asma Darwish, the manager of Baale Parwaz Library, mentored by Joseph Highland and supervised by Sajia Darwish.
ASHK aims to expand the reading culture amongst children and the youth of Bamiyan province. Since its opening, hundreds of students have enjoyed using the library space, reading books and participating in various activities. Although young, ASHK offers a Dari reading club, a conversational English club and story hours for students of various ages at the Kart-e-Sulh school.
