Kites over Afghanistan

Talking about the Middle East can be sad and controversial, but I thought it was important to discuss how other people live around the world, even if it can be a difficult topic. We watched a video on Malala Yousafzai and her mission to improve conditions for girls and women throughout the Middle East and her fight for education. We also discussed the tradition of kite fighting in Afghanistan and other surrounding countries and we created our own small kites using paper, straws and string.
