It's amazing to see the war-like voluntary efforts from citizens worldwide to tackle the problems caused by C19. Here is a list of voluntary projects I've seen so far that are doing meaningful & wonderful work (if you'd like to get involved in any of them, reply below or DM me):

1. Illustrators and graphic designers creating posters to raise awareness amongst the general public about the roles they can play to help tackle problems caused by C19, inspired by posters like these:

2. AI and multidisciplinary experts who are developing a tool and campaign to understand the needs of frontline staff in terms of medical equipment (PPE), and which suppliers could address these demands.

3. Millennials who are asking for people around the world to make a pledge to take actions which would bring more unity to the world. They're also organising #UnityDay on 19th May to showcase and celebrate these pledges.

4. Blue collar and white collar workers - who have become unemployed due to C19 - running a peer-to-peer support group, sharing job opportunities, tips for how to deal with unemployment, and messages of solidarity to help each other.

5. Tech leaders who are compiling a library of C19-related initiatives, as a source for innovators, entrepreneurs, and technical folk. This is to help avoid unnecessary replication, and show projects people can help with.

6. Musicians and fashion designers planning an online music event (like Live Aid) to bring joy and entertainment to people worldwide.

7. City-dwellers raising thousands of dollars to create a fund to provide vulnerable people in their city with financial support.

8. Everyday people - loved ones, friends, communities, neighbours, and acquaintances - looking out for each's mental health. Huge love to you all! ✌🏽❤️

These are just some of the amazing voluntary efforts of people worldwide. Together, we have stood up. Together, we will win this battle. Together, we can make a difference. If you know any other voluntary efforts, reply below: it might inspire more action. #COVIDー19 #coronavirus
