During these weeks my community has undergone many changes due to the arrival of the coronavirus in the country. My project which focuses mainly on helping the environment and others has suffered a great impact, since due to this virus we had to suspend all the activities that we had planned. Coronavirus is a very contagious virus and this is why we had to take preventive measures to keep ourselves safe while caring for others. This virus is affecting each member of this community, we must decrease contact with other people so that the number of people affected decreases.
Some of the activities we had to suspend was the trip to the nursing home and cleanings that we had already organized around our communities. Despite this, we know that we must continue our duty to help others but we will do it in a different way. We must provide information to the followers of the social page of our project, informing and providing support to the members of our community. We should use the internet as our means of communication, sharing tips, information about the coronavirus and supporting those who need it.
As a member of this La Paz community, it is my duty to inform and guide with reasonable information those who are interested in knowing how to protect themselves. In this time of crisis it is important to stay calm and help others to stay calm too. So that the ministry of health can carry out its work in the best possible way.
I am a person who is interested in the welfare of others. This is why when going through these types of situations I like to contribute something positive to the community in which I live. It is important that in situations like these we can get our humanitarian side, since it is when we most need the help of others, either indirectly by informing or giving donations of personal cleaning items to those who cannot obtain it to keep them protected from this disease. Being a person who empathizes with others during bad times helps us to have a different perspective on the world and achieve positive change for others.
This virus is affecting many families. It personally keeps me away from my loved ones, the borders of the countries are being closed, an example is my brother and his family who live in Germany. They had planned to come to spend vacations in Costa Rica but due to the closing of the borders due to the coronavirus this was not possible. This is how multiple families are being separated for the welfare of the population.
The people who are most at risk of severe damage from this disease are the elderly, who have the lowest defenses and their bodies do not resist, this is one of the reasons why we decided to cancel the trip to the nursing home, to keep them safe. During the suspension of the trip we will try to get more donations to take to them.
As I said before, we will be using our social network to help the community by keeping them informed about the virus. We will also be collecting donations that can help the nursing home and its needs. We will be in contact with members of our community in case they need our support and we will stay safe in our homes to avoid the spread of coronavirus.
