“Pusht-e har taareekee, roshanee ast. After every darkness is light.” To US Navy Capt. Edward Zellem, proverbs, specifically Dari proverbs, are one of those lights. “If Afghanistan is going to have any future it has to improve its literacy and education,” says Captain Zellem, author of the book “Zarbul Masalha: 151 Dari Proverbs.” After more than 30 years of war more than 70 percent of the Afghan population can’t read. Zellem’s new book of proverbs is one step toward greater literacy for many Afghans.
