It was August 2001, and there were eight of them. Eight employees of the humanitarian organization “Shelter Now” were arrested by the Taliban, then held as hostages for more than three months. 105 days of uncertainty and fear during which they faced many dangers and encountered the extreme suffering of the Afghan people. But they also experienced unforgettable moments: true friendships, the selfless help provided by their fellow Afghan prisoners and the support of God in an ordeal that seemed like it would never end.
A very lively, captivating and moving testimony, which provides the reader with valuable information about Afghanistan. It shows that even in the hardest trial, strength, hope and help are found in God, who never abandons his own.
Shelter Now is an international NGO founded in 1983, headquartered in Germany. She works in Pakistan and Afghanistan, where she has set up refugee camps, built houses, clinics and schools. Well drilling is another aspect of its activity. She has been involved in the reconstruction of Afghanistan since 1988.
