FARAH CITY (Pajhwok): A 14-year-old boy named Omaid, who earns bread for his family of eight, says he left school when he was in fourth grade and started selling ice cream to support his family.
In an interview with Pajhwok Afghan News, Omaid said, "My father is unemployed, we have no one else to support our family of eight members, so I had to leave the school and start work.”
He said he sells ice cream in Farah city, the provincial capital, during summer and earns between 150 to 200 afghanis a day.
Omaid is originally from Pashtood . . .
