Melissa Stalowski: Graphic Designer 11/29/2010

The graphic design discusses the section about Mansur's pilgrimage during the Afghan New Year. Mansur believes that he is called by Ali (God) to travel and ask forgiveness for his sins so he can be cleansed and purified. The journey is long and the three men travel through warn-torn Afghanistan, where the remains of the war with the Soviet Union and other civil wars have left the land very unsafe. At the end of the religious pilgrimage, Mansur prays to be freed from his father's control and to one day be proud to be an Afghan when Afghanistan finally becomes a respectable country.
