Like many other schools in Afghnaistan, the government run Pul-e-Rangeena Primary School in the northwestern city of Herat is overcrowded with children returning after many years of conflict. It is difficult for the school management to house all the children in proper class rooms. Here, a group of children sit out in the open due to too much mud in their tent class room. Herat, Afghanistan. May 6, 2009.
