Arhamna is the elder daughter of another family in Kapisa. Arhmana is in grade six but she said she is disappointed as she will not be allowed to go to school next year.
“I am in grade six and that is the last year of my school. I am sad like my sister is because we both can’t continue at our school,” she said.
