An Update from Joe Emerson and Ann Brayfield on April 10, 2020
I hope everyone is safe and staying well. We have been self isolating for almost a month now and are sort of enjoying it - for now.
India is in the early stages of the pandemic and is on full shut down as best as it can be. In the villages, where people live in close quarters, masks and hand washing, and social distancing all are very important. So the Sanjeevini Trust is using the old ambulance to go from village to village to spread the word about prevention. They go out daily and have been to over 50 towns and villages in Raichur District so far. Here is a short video on the Trust's Covid-19 prevention efforts.
And the young ladies tailoring class, including former graduates, are sewing over 500 masks per day. The Trust is distributing them to villagers for free. Please see pictures below of mask making and distribution.
With all the fear and uncertainty about Covid-19 now, the police, the district administrators, and doctors in the area are all turning to the Sanjeevini Trust to help prevent the spread of the virus. The Covid-19 prevention program has been written up in several newspapers. All of this is thanks to your support over the years. So again a big thanks to all of you!
Stay well!
