The Plymouth Meeting Quakers group, who helped build a school for girls in Afghanistan, is trying to find a way to bring home an Afghan interpreter. The group wishes to rescue the man, who risked his life working for the U.S. military, to safety from the horrors of Kabul, writes Jeff Gammage for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Bashir, whose last name is protected for safety reasons, is currently in hiding.

“If we could just get him on a plane,” said David DiFabio, a Plymouth Quaker Meeting member and Air Force veteran.

He and other members of the Plymouth Meeting Quakers have contacted Pennsylvania elected officials in the hopes of getting some help.

They said U.S. Rep. Madeleine Dean has stepped up. Her staff found the paperwork error that has prevented Bashir from being granted a Special Immigrant Visa that qualifies interpreters for evacuation to the U.S.

“This man [has] high recommendations from members of our armed service,” said David Miller, a Meeting member. “He needs to get out now, as he has been identified and notified by the Taliban that he is on their list.”
