In the midst of nationwide lockdown, our frontline warriors’ motivation only seems to be boosting day by day as they serve their respective communities with dedication.     

Jivan Goswami is our operators of the Safe Drinking Water facility at Dhannad, a village in Madhya Pradesh, adopted by Standard Chartered Bank shares his experience on the current situation of his village where everyone in the village has only one feeling of brotherhood right now.

Apart from the plant and ATM being cleaned, sanitized and continue to serve water to the community, he educates the users to follow hygiene practices to be safe.

He appreciated the Anganwaadi and Asha workers who even during the lockdown, are constantly visiting all the households educating them to follow all precautions and along with the sensitivity of the situation.

On their daily rounds, they have been providing medication to the sick people so they can recover fast and prepare themselves for the coming days. 

Jivan draws some inspiration from these health workers so mobilized his friend's group comprising of 12 members to provide food to the neediest families in the village. Unfortunately, these families have no support or money to purchase even the most essential stuff. 

This group of young boys also provided food to 150 migrants travelling to their home village. 

On speaking to him, he says "Even the minutest effort counts if it makes a difference in someone’s life. We are regularly educating our people to take preventive measures and protect themselves and so our village at large". 

Such determined community helpers are braving these tough times with the wholehearted spirit of mankind.
