    Introduction      
         
 

The Alumnae Association owes its existence to Qamar-jon. Qamar-jon is the main link between our current students and our alumnae.

The Alumnae Association is an essential part of the European Commission’s project „Educating Afghan Women for Management“.

   
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
                           
    What are the objectives of the Alumnae Association?  
 
- The Alumnae Association is to contribute towards ensuring the structural continuity of the Lycée Jamhuriat and facilitating a future network with the Afghan administration and business community.
   
     
                                           
 
- Every successful graduate is to become a member of the Association and should actively promote its social and technical activities.
   
     
                                           
 
- The Alumnae Association provides women with the unique opportunity to establish contacts outside their family and/or their professional environment, to get together, to engage in discussions with other women, and to solve their own specific problems.
   
     
                                           
 
 - Companies will be invited to help fund the work of the Alumnae Association e.g. through seminars and joint events.
   
     
                                           
 
 - All Alumnae are invited to help young Lycée Jamhuriat graduates on the job market.
   
     
                                           
 
 - The aim of our web site is to draw the attention of the business community to this very special Lycée and its alumnae and to help graduates with their job search.

Dear teachers and alumnae of the former Lycée Bilqis and of the present-day Lycée Jamhuriat,

We hope that you are in good health and doing fine. You have experienced hard times, and quite a few of you have been scattered all over the world. It is to those who have stayed here or who have come back to Kabul that we particularly address this letter.

Many of you may remember the dilapidated and neglected state our school was in five years ago.

With financial aid from Germany, our School has again become a sightly building. Not only the facilities have been renovated, the Lycée itself has undergone a thorough overhaul – thanks to the efforts of Mrs Meyer-Oehme, one of the former teachers. The Lycée maslaki Jamhuriat has become a commercial high school where students now learn two foreign languages – German and English – and where they acquire solid computer skills starting as early as grade 8. In the upper grades, the girls can choose to either train for a position in the business community or in administration. There are nine buses to transport the students to the different suburbs of Kabul. Students who want to do their homework on the school premises in the afternoon are offered lunch at the canteen. At 3 p.m. the girls are taken home by bus.

However, a school is not only anchored in the present. When looking ahead, the heritage of the past should remembered, traditions should be upheld. This implies establishing contacts to the alumnae, who hand down their memories to today’s generation, to the future.

We would like to get together, to exchange experiences, and to have a look at our School, which is old and new at the same time.

We offer you, our dear alumnae, the opportunity to taste yourself the meals prepared at our canteen and to live a normal school day at the Lycée Jamhuriat as it is today.

We want to get together for tea and biscuits, talking about former times and exchanging the experiences made in harder times.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday June 28 at noon in your old School. If you don’t want to leave your toddlers at home – bring them along! We would also like to spend the afternoon with you. Stay as long as you can!

Unfortunately, we only know the addresses of very few of our former students.

Please help us to get the addresses of former students. In our modern times of the mobile phone, telephone numbers are most important. It is only with your assistance that this first meeting at the Lycée Jamhuriat can be made a success.

We are grateful for each telephone number you communicate to us.

Please give us a call!
Telephone number: Headmistress Mohsena Nuri: 0799012584
Telephone number: Deputy Headmistress Nurzia: 0202300035

Yours sincerely (sgd Mohsena Nuri)

     
                                           
                                           
                                         
                                           
                                           
   
First Alumnae Meeting on 28 June 2006 Over Lunch and Tea at the Canteen of the Lycée Jamhuriat
   
 
The alumnae got together for their first meeting before the summer break. It was a joyful event. The former students were thrilled to do a tour of the old, thoroughly remodeled “new” School with its computer rooms, laboratories, the library, the kitchen and the canteen. They said that they would like to come back and start their studies all over. A link has been forged between the graduates of former times and recent graduates.

Dear Alumnae,

Those who came to see us on June 28 at the Lycée Jamhurait now surely take pleasure in remembering our first meeting.

At the get-together we decided to meet another time this year. It would be a good idea to hold this meeting before the cold season starts.

We herewith kindly invite you to our second meeting. Please come to the Tampkhaana of the Lycée Jamhuriat on Tuesday September 19, 5 p.m..

We would be happy if you could bring along more former students.

At this meeting, we want to establish an association. The generally accepted term for an association of former female graduates is ALUMNAE Association.

Please make a note in your diary of this meeting onTuesday, September, 19.

We are looking forward to seeing you
Mohsena-jon
Nurzia-jon
Qamar-jon
Ruthild
and all other former teachers.

    Requests and Suggestions    
 
We would like to welcome as many former students and teachers as possible in our Alumnae Association. Please inform former school friends and classmates of our Association, thus helping to re-establish a large and active school community across continents and ages.

Each of you cherishes memories of former days. Please contact us so that your experiences at school will be remembered. Write down your comments on our web site. Let former classmates take part in your personal experiences.

We warmly welcome any suggestion relating to the design or the modification of our web site.

The Alumnae living in Kabul will be personally informed about all future common activities.
