Kasargod, Aug 19: A nun from Kasargod is reportedly stranded in strife-ridden Afghanistan.

It is gathered that Sr Theresa Crasta, from Bela Periyadka, is stranded in Afghanistan's Kabul.

Reportedly, Sr Theresa was serving at the child learning center near Kabul. She was planning to return India on August 17. But, as Taliban seized power in Afghanistan on August 15, she could not return. In addition, it was very difficult to reach the airport.

It is learnt that Sr Theresa is safe at the moment She was serving in a convent in Nellyadi earlier. Later, she was taking care of differently-abled children in Prashanth Nivas Ashram in Jeppu.

    I have bitter experience of being stuck in a war torn country during Kuwaits invasion by Iraqi soldiers. No local government, no police security. Sort of cash and food. Only thought and anxiety is how to survive and rea h back our mother country. We were conductong community prayers at certainfixed time only hopes that God will show us a way and I with my sibling angd 29 family members reached native place safe in October 1990 🙏

    Christian missionaries are often accused of conversion. Rarely do we get to see the real work done by them. Here is a lady who is helping handicapped children in a poor war torn country facing all kinds of dangers. Religious preaching would be un-thinkable Afghanistan. May God bless all those who serve humanity.

    So many brave people are doing missionary and charity work in dangerous environment. All this was going on without anybody's attention and adulation. Hats off to the brave missionaries of our motherland.

    My sincere prayers for your safe return. Hope Christ give wisdom and knowledge to be peaceful and kind towards human kind. This Taliban and all associated people should learn to live a peaceful life. What is the use of praying multiple times but not practicing peace and showing compassion towards people.

    That is the problem when you select very old sick people to the post of president of any country. Results are in front of you. They all ran away. Examples are Biden, Ghani etc etc. Running for life

    Sad but let's hope and pray that she and all our people ( people of India) be able to reach back safely. Pray for People of other countries as well for safe passage. Afghan fell into Taliban much sooner than it was anticipated. May God strengthen his righteous people to prevail over Taliban from the clutches of evil and ensure safety of all innocent and righteous people over there for you are their refuge and hope.
