In America, students compete for high quality education.

In Pakistan, students just want a “school”.

Due to Taliban attacks, about 150 schools in Swat Valley were left devastated.

No water, chairs, desks, buildings, or proper educational supplies is provided to these students who sincerely need the help of education.

“Today, when I look all around me at my school, I can’t tell if this is reality or just part of my dream,” said one of the girls in the video, “Lost Generation in Swat Valley.”

Constant threats from Taliban, limited donations from other countries, and corrupted political exertions hinder the future lives of these students.

However, wealthy Pakistani families began to contribute in school reconstructions and, most importantly, the students still find the desire to attend “schools.”

All they want is a building with chairs and desks.

Still, a long road seems to be left ahead to establish such environment in Swat Valley.
