Comedian Giulio Gallarotti's curiosity took him to Afghanistan, a place he's been fascinated by most of his life. Exploring the beautiful nature, traditional society and seeing what life is like under the Taliban. Despite the war being over, life is still difficult for the Afghan people. After all sorts of adventures, crazy drives and Taliban encounters, G decided he wanted to do his part to help. With the help of his guide, they started a school system in a small village after a meeting with local officials and teachers. The school is currently operating, legally, and employs 7 teachers(including women). Over 377 children attend the school.
