The rain is steadily falling here on the West Coast of the USA. Our winter is not yet completed – and news of the Covid19 continues to circulate. Shelves in the stores of empty of toilet paper, paper towels, sanitary wipes and hand-gel. Of course, all persons are concerned: Thus, it goes in a first world country where information is mostly easy to get and easy to discriminate. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is globally reporting the concerns of this growing and pervasive virus.
In the mean-time, across the world young children are kept home from school, as the virus is also altering their young lives. The CDC and health departments in Vietnam are active in the small villages and the even smaller hamlets. MEDRIX has been working with the rural departments of the CDC in the Central Areas of Vietnam for years by providing life-giving safe water for the kids and health and hygiene education for their teachers and village leaders. We applaud our partners there for their good work in trying to curb this invasive virus!
The challenges in a first world country are huge, and possibly even more daunting in an emerging country. You can be a part of the success of story by donating today to the “MEDRIX Safe-Water and Health Education” projects. Children will be provided safe water for their schools and preschools. Teachers will be provided with global life saving educational health and hygiene updates. Young lives will be saved, and adults will become empowered to win the battle against the spread of diseases in their communities. Thank you for your donations! May we globally win against this rampant virus.
