Islamabad - Week Thirty-Eight

The Islamabad Model College for Girls. I saw a sign like this the first week or so that I arrived at post, and my reaction was, "What?" I later learned that it is not, in fact, a college to teach Pakistani girls the art of modeling, but is a model school - with standards to which other schools should aspire - for girls. The literacy rate in Pakistan is 58% - and just 33% of women are literate - so it's encouraging to see progress.
