Covid 19 is raging in north east India and #Meghalaya is now under complete lockdown. This has affected daily wage workers including hawkers and street vendors.

From March 2020 onwards their livelihood has met with increased vulnerabilities and challenges. Now under full lockdown again and prohibited from engaging in trade this section of the population has been under severe stress.
They have no income support from the government for expenses towards rents, school fees, and food. We want to raise sufficient funds to support their various needs including medical requirements and everyday needs.
The funds we hope will also help in rehabilitating those families affected by Covid whose mainstay is daily wage work.

Having behaved like a troll for sometime now on government's CoVid19 communication strategy, this news is welcome. Hope that the communication unit takes its work seriously and Image
starts by figuring out the crazy ideas about the pandemic that have taken root in the community and gets out of the Shillong English Speaking Class bias of its top down messaging. So some trollish free advice.
1. Khasi, Garo, Pnar, Hindi, Bengali, Nepali are the languages spoken in Meghalaya not English. So, start thinking in these - don't do cookie cutter translations of Delhi produced communication material expensively printed (forget about making east money on printing)

<27/11/2020 WORLD WITHOUT KONG SPELITY> Kong Spelity Lyngdoh Langrin of Domisiat, #Khasi Hills, #Meghalaya is no more. She left us yesterday night at 11.30pm. Kong Spelity - Matriarch of Domiasiat, refused to allow #Uranium to be mined on her land.
Offered 45 Crore rupees for a 30 years lease of her land, she said, "Money will not buy my Freedom."
Today as I try to figure out your absence, I want to tell the story I tried telling the world sometime ago:
"I have a story. Many years ago I was in Domiasiat village in West Khasi Hills. Domiasiat sits on top of India’s biggest Uranium deposits.
