Snow came late to Kabul this year, giving construction workers a few extra weeks to work on the structure of the ACKU's new building. 

On December 20, cement began to be poured for the angled roof on the new ACKU building. Because of the roof's steep slope, measurements had to be scrutinized and reviews of the design had to carefully considered before the cement was poured.  

One of the carpenters, Khairat, was awarded a prize in recognition of his careful attention to detail. Khairat received his award during a luncheon given by Engineer Rafiq and which attended by members of the Ministry of Higher Education, Kabul University, ACKU and all the workmen.
