UNITED STATES, April 3, 2020 (Indiaspora by Arun Kankani): COVID-19 has caused unprecedented global challenges and has many unique aspects. It’s a global health and economic disaster along with being an invisible and seemingly invincible enemy. The coronavirus has leading authorities and administrations scrambling to find solutions against this novel threat. It’s during this time of confusion, that Sewa International’s volunteers have once again come together to provide relief, information, and more to the community. I am immensely happy and proud that I work with a dedicated group of volunteers across the 43 Sewa chapters in the USA that have been able to provide much needed services to the community. In less than two weeks, the whole organization was working together effectively in multiple cities across the country.
More than 15 webinars have been conducted by renowned doctors, global health experts, family counsellors and legal experts and have been viewed by more than 50,000 people so far. More than 20,000 masks have been distributed to first responders, doctors, medical facilities, and hospitals. Services have been provided to seniors and free meals provided to first responders. These are just a few of the efforts Sewa has made to date. In the next two weeks, we are planning to reach out to over 1000 organizations in more than 50 cities with the campaign “Pledge for Service” (Sewa Sankalp) to build confidence which is the antidote to fear.
