The Quakers at Plymouth Friends Meeting, a group that helped build a school for girls in Afghanistan, is trying to find a way to bring the Afghan interpreter 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 member of Plymouth Friends Meeting and Air Force veteran.

He and other members of the Quakers at Plymouth Friends Meeting have contacted elected officials in Pennsylvania with the hope of getting some help.

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

“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.”
