I am coming towards the end of my first three months of volunteering as a teacher on AIWR's English Program and have found it to be an excellent experience in all respects. AIWR have been quick to respond to any queries and very helpful and friendly. Working with my student has been an incredible experience and I am extremely grateful to AIWR for providing such a wonderful opportunity, and for doing such invaluable work.

I worked as a volunteer teacher for AIWR for three months and I found the organisation to be incredibly dedicated, efficient and enthusiastic. Directly speaking to female students in Afghanistan felt like truly making a difference. I can't think of many programmes that are able to form such a tangible link between cultures.

I have been working as a volunteer teacher of English for just three weeks and have been most impressed by the friendly efficiency of the organisation. I am a retired teacher and have taught in various contexts, including teaching girls and young women in a developing country, and understand how valuable it is to give women the skills to enable them to be independent and help others. My young Afghan student hopes to become a doctor. I believe that AIWR and my small role may help her achieve her goal.

I have been working for AIWR as a volunteer for over a year now and have enjoyed my time with them greatly. Their support staff is excellent, and the cause they work for is a very important one. I've been teaching English to a young Afghan girl over Skype, and I think the experience has changed both our lives. It is quite moving how energetic and optimistic she is about her future in such a hostile environment. I firmly believe that AIWR's program has a great impact on the lives of these girls and brings Afghanistan closer to us voluteers, who know nothing about it apart from images from the media. I continue to work for AIWR, and hope to do so until my other work schedule permits.

I've been working as a volunteer English teacher for about six months and have enjoyed every moment of it! I work with both a man and a woman who do amazing work for a non-profit in Afghanistan, and for whom learning English would help their career. Any time an issue has arisen, such as one with scheduling conflicts, the team at AIWR has been very quick to respond and help. AIWR is wonderful non-profit, and I feel honored to be working with them!

Working for AIWR has changed my life in aspects that I continue to discover even after a year and three months. The experience works primarily on two levels: first, the idea that such a strong emotional and educational connection can be made utilizing technology is remarkable. I think AIWR is one among few pioneers that truly mobilizes the revolutionary possibilities of the internet. The second function of being an AIWR volunteer is that I have the privilege of knowing my bright, earnest, and deeply compassionate 15 year old student. She has taught me much more than I could ever hope to impart to her. My family and friends know about this relationship in my life and they too are inspired by this young woman. I am simply grateful to have had this opportunity, and I look forward to more and more people being a part of this extremely relevant project.

I volunteered as an English teacher for AIWR two years ago and now volunteer as the English Language Program Coordinator. The organization supports girls and women in Afghanistan through long-distance English classes and professional mentoring. Everyone involved in the organization is passionately dedicated to helping girls and women in Afghanistan increase their opportunities and chances for success. The student/teacher exchanges have touched so many lives. I hope to be a part of this organization for a long time to come.

Being an active participant in this grassroots, true to life, interwoven tapestry of learning, teaching and growing is a dream come home in my life. Women reaching out to touch other women beyond culture, creed and country lifts up my spirit, lightens my life and encourages my daughters and grand daughters by broadening what they know about relationships and ways they can participate globally with others. The bright light of women helping women shines into every darkness as we learn how to be global citizens.

I volunteered with AIWR for 5 months. The experience was far more life changing than I would have ever imagined to have working from my own home two hours a week. The support and question response I got was beyond that of any in-person, not online position I have ever held. As a volunteer, I was sent thank you letters and beautiful hand-crafted gifts at least twice a year. In thse five months I gained a relationship with an amazing student, an understanding of the Afghan culture, a deeper understanding of the conditions that currently exist in the Kandahar region of Afghanistan, the potential that online classes and technology offer to changing the world division of education, and so much more. I got so much out of the experience that I recommend the organization to all of my friends.
