When schools closed in March owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, nursery-school teacher Razanna Mohamed ensured that she remained connected to her students as she still wanted to cater to their educational needs as much as she could. She soon realized that some of them were in need of much more.
During her online Zoom classes Mohamed heard many complaints about parents not being able to adequately provide for their children as some had been laid off. Wanting to give more than a listening ear, she along with a friend prepared hampers and distributed them.
The number of those who were in need grew and exceeded Mohamed’s parents’ circle. Seeing this, another friend created a PayPal account and publicized their work on Facebook, which saw many persons donating to the account.
