Afghan girls get searched by members of the Female Engagement Team as they enter the Asad Sori School for its reopening, Feb. 6. More than 30 girls attended the schools opening, marking success of the FET’s efforts to encourage the education of the area’s young women. “We hold woman’s shuras (meetings) with the women once a week, and it’s always a point that we push; for education and the importance of it,” said Sgt. Jessica Halford, a Temple, Texas native. “Ever since we’ve known about it, we’ve been talking about the school and seeing how many of them will be attending it.”
