Qamar Gul

NBC News: In mid-July, reports emerged about Qamar Gul, 15, who says she gunned down two fighters with her father’s AK-47 weapon. Almost immediately, the story electrified some in Afghanistan, a country buffeted by decades of war. “Yesterday it was Malalai, today it is Qamar Gul,” said Turkmen, a student of political science, comparing her to the female folk hero Malalai of Maiwand, who is remembered across the country for rallying fighters against the British during the second Anglo-Afghan war in 1880.

    If you could check on this
    website
    designers and developers.
    .
    They charge $600 for simple designs and around $1000
    commercially-capable designs.
    .
    I am still not
    sure
    of
    the quality of their
    services
