2. At the heart of 3CT is a simple message: education is important. Reflect on your own education to this point. How has it mattered to you? What might your future be like if you were limited to the education available to most in Pakistan and Afghanistan? Why is higher education – especially in our society – important?
-Come in with ideas for a group civic engagement project.
