Afghanistan is the country with a lower rate of enrollment to the school in the world. Only 32 percent go to class. After year Taliban power, Afghan children begin to fly their kites. The lack of parks and sports grounds, cemeteries become playgrounds. Every Friday, hundreds of families make the holy fields of the cities so that their children can run and play ball on the graves of the dead. Also fly kites again. Children are outside the sadness present, also the uncertainty of their future.

Story

Afghan families do not know whether to take their children to school or let them at home to protect them.

The Islamist Taliban usually attack schools. 900 children under five die each year in Afghanistan, according to UNICEF.

97 percent of children under sixteen years have been witnessed at least once about scenes of extreme violence. And 65 percent have seen a close family member die because of war.
