Keeping up the motivation of students in a challenging environment: A case study of American University of Afghanistan

15th August 2021 is a date that will remain forever etched in the memories of Afghan citizens, it was a day when the Taliban took control of the country. Students and staff members of American University of Afghanistan got severely affected by hurried evacuation and the destruction of records and the fall of its flourishing campuses. Bringing students back into the mainstream of study, ensuring their mental wellbeing and instilling confidence was the priority of its faculty members connecting from all corners of the world, with those who were still in the country and leading a life of obscurity.
