Zekerullah, 13 years old, stopped Grade 6 school last year

Good morning! Good morning, teacher!‎
Is it winter already? Yes, its become really cold.‎

Did it snow? Yes, the snow melted & so its very muddy.‎

How do you come (to the city from his village)?‎
I walk here. Sometimes I hitch a ride on the buttock (back) of a truck.‎

When you walk, how long does it take? Did you ask how long it takes? 2 hours.‎

‎2 hours? Are your legs strong? My legs.yes, theyre strong. Show me your strong legs.‎

Zekerullah works at a bakery in the city, making biscuits & cakes‎

How can Afghanistan become peaceful?‎
We need to act in truth.‎
We should not lie or cheat. Then, Afg can become peaceful.‎

Does justice and truth exist in Afghanistan today? No. Why?‎

If you have a legal case handled by the government authorities & you dont pay a bribe, they wont sign the ‎documents

If you fail the exams in school or in college, but you have connections in the government or if you pay a bribe, ‎youll pass

Also with the police, if you give some money, your matter will be settled.‎

You promised the U.S. Ambassador & indirectly President Obama that you would return to school next spring. ‎Would you fulfill your promise?‎

If bad days do not come my way, Ill definitely fulfill my promise.If bad days come,no one would be able to.‎

What do you wish from President Obama? That he answers our message of peace.‎
