ISLAMABAD: Pakistani Christian mourns the death of their relative who were killed in the September 22, blast at the All Saint’s Church, after the service in Peshawar. Victims of All Saints church still bears the physical scars of the September 22 bombing believed to be the deadliest ever against Muslim majority Pakistan’s small Christian community. More than 85 people were killed and around a hundred were injured when a devastating two-pronged suicide attack targeted their place of worship on September 22. 2013.  The seemingly senseless slaughter of so many innocent civilians shocked Pakistan and it is still not clear who carried out the attack.

Peshawar church blast has united the Christians of the country. Christians all over the country and world came and showed their support. Many social rights activists including me reached there to help the victims, many helped them in many ways but with the passage of time, they got busy with their routine work. There are few FB activists and politicians, who just visit and post pictures to show their activities. Certainly organizations have their different projects but at the same time there is an organization that is still working on and helping the victims.

Yes, it is none other than World Vision in Progress (WVIP). WVIP not only covers the cost for annual supplies of medicine and hospital costs but also is supporting victims for medical treatment abroad. During early February, WVIP supported Kashmala Munawar to fly to Australia for further treatment. Kashmala Munawar was one of the victims of Peshawar church blast who had multiple pellets in her legs. Doctors amputated her one leg and a rod was fixed in her second leg. But doctors were not sure about saving her second leg. WVIP requested its Australian partner Jeannette Wells and her husband Ron for her treatment in their country. The said couple requested Children First Foundation to help them in this regard. And thus she went to Australia for her further treatment.

WVIP is playing a vital role in helping Christians suffering attacks and riots in recent years. Many victims still waiting for the government promised [aid] and church administration [is also still waiting] as well for the maintenances [that the government promised]. Even when the walls are pristine again, it will take rather longer to heal the emotional scars of a traumatized congregation. 

Be Blessed,

Shamim Masih
