Volunteering Warriors: A Covid perspective

The COVID-19 pandemic served as a testament to the power of mankind, its resilience and its hope in restoration. While we heard an ample amount of information on the adverse effects of the pandemic, we thought of covering a story of hope. This is the story of Karpagam, a 22-year-old Master’s student from Chennai who worked for the Greater Chennai Corporation as a ‘Psycho-social Support’ volunteer for COVID-19 patients. We asked Karpagam a bunch of questions about her experience and understood the truth behind the scenes, in its raw and unfiltered nature.
