Philanthropy in the Time of Covid-19

"Philanthropy is not about money. It’s about using whatever resources you have at your fingertips and applying them to improving the world.” —Melinda Gates

COVID-19 has thrown several challenges to the humans threatening their very existence. People must rise to this challenge to offer their donations to help combat this pandemic. Several countries and eminent personalities have donated their wealth including Bill Gates to fight this pandemic. Those who don’t have money can invest their time by participating in nonprofits and making a difference.

India still a developing nation where poverty is high. There is a need to support the poor at this hour of crisis. The government alone cannot do everything. People must come forward to support the poor in whatever the means possible. The Prime Minister's Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations Fund (PM CARES Fund) was created on 28 March 2020, following the COVID-19 pandemic in India. Several large business groups in India contributed to the relief fund including Tata Sons and Tata Trusts (₹1,500 crores) and Wipro and Azim Premji Foundation (₹1,125 crores). You can donate as much as you can to PM CARES Fund.

Conclusion

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” —Aesop's Fables

The coronavirus is one of the biggest challenges the humankind is facing currently. So, people must come forward to donate as much as they can to help the people who are suffering either directly or indirectly from this pandemic.

“Wealth is not to feed our egos, but to feed the hungry and to help people help themselves.” —Andrew Carnegie

COVID19: Lockdown Extension in India

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” ―Martin Luther King, Jr.

Indian Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi extended the present lockdown until May 03, 2020. It is a step in the right direction to prevent coronavirus from spreading further. He outlined the following seven points:   

1. Ensure the elderly take precautions.
2. Follow social distancing, use homemade masks.
3. Boost your immunity – look for guidelines issued by the Ayush ministry.
4. Download and use the Aarogya Setu mobile app.
5. Help the poor and the needy.
6. Have empathy for people employed in your business.
7. Respect coronavirus warriors including nurses and the medical workers.

Everyone must follow the guidelines. It is not the time to politicize the issue. Let us keep our political and ideological differences aside to save precious human lives. We must follow the guidelines strictly in the larger interests of the people and India. Express your gratitude to the frontline workers who are risking their lives to protect the people. Let us show to the coronavirus that we humans are much smarter, sharper and stronger.

“When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” —Joseph P. Kennedy
