India - Let's fight back Corona virus
India’s 1.3 billion citizens are now under 21-day Corona virus lock-down since 25 March 2020. The fear and panic of virus has gripped our beloved country. We need to come together and help our beloved country and provide strength to those who are running into hunger because of lock-down.
"I earn 600 rupees ($8; £6.50) every day and I have five people to feed. We will run out of food in a few days. I know the risk of corona virus, but I can't see my children hungry," – Labor from Banda district UP State.
Kishan Lal, who works as rickshaw puller in the northern city of Allahabad, said he had not made any money in the past four days.
His friend Ali Hasan, who works as a cleaner in a shop, said he had run out of money to buy food. "The shop shut down two days ago and I haven't been paid. I don't know when it will open. I am very scared. I have a family, how am I going to feed them?"
A cleaner who is not aware about Corona says, "polishing people's shoes at the railway station in Allahabad for years, but nobody is showing up now".
Like Ali Hasan and Kishan Lal millions of other daily wage earners are in similar situation.
ESCO a US based non-profit is working with teams across different parts of India to provide food packets and help our country in this difficult situation.
We have teams on the ground to execute and help the country right now. People need food right now. It's today and while we are collecting funds our volunteers are already on the field delivering food packets.
Hindi: गरीब बच्चे सपने के साथ सोते थे कि स्वर्गदूत उनके लिए भोजन लाएंगे
Urdu: سوگے بچےغریب کے یہ سنکر خواب میں فرشتے آتے ہے روٹیاں لےکر
Translation: Poor kids slept with the dream that angels will bring food for them
