Dear friends,
As you know, millions of migrant workers and daily wage earners in India are facing severe hardship due to COVID-19. It is very moving to see the plight of these families lacking access to food and shelter.
Lack of income exacerbated the situation. On behalf of Suri Foundation, I am initiating a global #UpvasCorona (skip a meal or fast) campaign to give the workers support and strength. I am requesting you to either skip a meal or fast between 6 am and 6 pm on June 6th, 2020.
We are in this pandemic together. Let us honor this vulnerable population, share their pain, and give them comfort. Please join me on 6-6-2020 for #UpvasCorona, spread the message, and share the video.
While there is no direct material benefit to the migrant workers and no single effort can solve all problems, our hope is to build awareness of this section of the society! Thank you. Like this event on Facebook UpvasCorona
