We have wonderful news to share with you all! Today, we launched a small mobile library in Dasht-e-Barchi! Charmaghz welcomed the children and their excitement to read and play. We will continue expanding our services around Kabul, where children need them the most. #bookmobile

Happy New Year! It was a snowy few days in Kabul, but that did not keep Charmaghz from running! We are so happy to see so many smiling faces 💜 🚌 #bookmobiles #charmaghzlibrary #afghanistan

Charmaghz Library is back in action! We have been actively going around Kabul the past few weeks, providing library services. Our 5 mobile libraries visit hundreds of children each day. We're so happy to see smiling faces once more! #bookmobile #libraries #community

Children must be taught how to think, not what to think. These children are future educators, artists, and healers of Afghanistan and we are so proud of each and every child who steps onto a Charmaghz bus. 🚌 📚 🧠💜 #childrenarethefuture #librariestransform #afghanistan

Our wonderful Director, Freshta Karim, interviewed for Avvenire newspaper! It makes us so happy to see everyone around the world wanting to learn about Charmaghz and the work we do. 🚌📚🧠 #librariestransform #literacy

After being on break for Eid celebrations Charmaghz is back on the road! The children missed us & we missed them as well. Many of them received Eidi! It is wonderful catching up with the children around Kabul & hearing about their Eid! So many wonderful stories to share. 🚌📚🧠

Books are a portal to another world where adventures and imagination comes to life. This Eid we ask for donations to purchase more books and to sustain our mobile libraries with the basics like fuel, maintenance, and supplies to carry on our mission. #EidMubarak 📚🌎🚌 🧠

We wish everyone peace, love, and joy this Eid 💜 #eidmubarak #morelovelesshate

We are lucky and thankful to be working alongside parents who also have the best interests in their children’s education! 🚌🧠📚 #literacy #libraries #mobilelibraries #charmaghzlibrary #bookmobiles

We’re so happy to be back in action and have our wheels moving around Kabul! It’s been a difficult few weeks here but we’re determined more than ever to encourage children to read and use their voice instead of violence to resolve conflicts. #lovenotwar #StrongerTogether 🧠🚌 📚
