In Afghanistan, young people and children in rural areas need healthy activities alongside education to guide their mindset and lives in a positive direction. While education plays a foundational role in their future, other healthy activities such as reading, sports, and recreational activities are also crucial in the lives of young people. Unfortunately, in many rural areas today, there are no adequate opportunities for these activities, which can lead to significant negative consequences for the youth.
Healthy activities like reading, sports, and artistic endeavors play an important role in the mental and physical development of youth. These activities provide them with the opportunity to spend their time in a positive manner and to improve both their physical and mental health. Football, volleyball, cricket, and other sports are not only beneficial for the physical fitness of young people but also teach them teamwork, cooperation, and the principles of competition.
Reading in libraries can play a vital role in the intellectual growth of young people alongside their education. These activities can help guide young people toward new knowledge and skills, aiding in their intellectual development. Unfortunately, in many rural areas, such opportunities do not exist, which can seriously harm the future of the youth.
The lack of healthy activities can lead to aimlessness, depression, and a tendency towards drug use and other negative behaviors in young people and children. When youth and children are not engaged in any positive activities outside of their studies, they may become involved in unhealthy behaviors, which can destroy not only their future but also harm the community as a whole.
In light of this situation, the Afghan caretaker government and national investors have a serious responsibility to provide healthy activities for young people in rural areas. The government must take necessary measures to establish sports fields, reading clubs, and other healthy activities in rural areas.
Afghanistan has a young population, and these young people are the future of the country. If the government and investors take serious steps in this area, we can move toward a brighter future. In the end, it is the responsibility of all of us to provide the necessary opportunities for the healthy upbringing of our youth so that they can progress in a positive and constructive direction within their country.
