Hi! Can you help me gather some information on Afghanistan? 
 Sure thing! The official name of Afghanistan is Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and it is located in Central Asia and also South Asia. In earlier times, since it connected with China, India, Central Asia and the middle east, many people would pass though with animals and other goods. Currently Afghanistan has received much damage due to long years of war and also a lack of jobs. 
 Can you tell me about the demographics there? 
 Absolutely! There are two official languages in Afghanistan, Dari and Pashto, because of this bilingualism is very common. 
 What nationalities are represented in the region? 
 I apologize, I do not have any of that information, however, I do know that a cherished part of the Afghan culture is the classic Persian and Pashto poetry. 
 Can you tell me about the education system there? 
 I sure can! In Afghanistan, there are 8,000 schools that are being required to be built for the remaining children there who have been deprived of learning, this has been put into effect by former Education Minister Ghulam Farooq Wardak 
 That's awesome! Everyone should have the opportunity to learn! How many schools were there before that? 
 I apologize, but I don't have that information available, however, I do know that as a way to attract Afghan children into learning, they have Baghch-e-Simsim, which is similar to American Sesame Street. 
 How neat! Is there a college or university there for higher education? 
 Oh, yes there is!! There are many major universities located outside of Kabul, some are, Kandahar University in the south, Herat University in the northwest, Balkh University and Kunduz University in the north, Nangarhar University and Khost University in the east. 
 That's great!! Thank you for all of that information! 
 You are welcome!
