Description: Teachers line up female students to greet arriving government official on Tundikhel (playing field) on south east side of town. Note that many young girls have kohl around their eyes. This is a kind of protection and insurance that their iris will be dark brown or black as some of them are born with blue or hazel eyes (which generally change color as the child gets older.)
