Über den Autor
Najaf Mazari was born in a small village near Mazar-e-Sharif in northern Afghanistan. At the age of 12, he left school and apprenticed himself to a master rugmaker. He fled Afghanistan in 2000, ending up in Woomera Detention Centre. After his release, he settled in Melbourne where he now owns a traditional Afghan rug shop. In 2006, his wife and daughter were finally able to join him in Melbourne, and in 2007, he was granted Australian citizenship. Najaf founded a philanthropic fund, the Masawat Development Fund, that supplies health and education aid to remote villages in the mountains outside Mazar-e-Sharif.
