BAGHDAD — A new high school for girls opened in northern Baghdad Feb. 5, courtesy of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The school is one of many projects focusing on education and reconstruction of Iraq’s infrastructure.
Residents in north Baghdad hosted the official opening of the $470,000, 16-classroom girls’ high school with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
Ali Bunni, deputy chairman of the Qada Council, officiated the ceremony with local sheiks. His community needed a new school for years, long before Coalition Forces arrived. But it was the Coalition forces’ generosity that made it happen, Bunni said.
