Here is my entry for the contest
Hey there guys, yes, The Corona Virus is a global pandemic but we will come over it. The most we can do is be quarantined at our homes but it is easier said than done especially in the third world countries like Pakistan. We recorded our first case on 26 Feb and now Pakistan has over 1700 cases, our provincial government announced for a lockdown last week and it has been 7 days since that. It is the most difficult for the under privileged to survive in this situation, they are mostly daily wagers and don’t have any savings so it is impossible for them to stock food up, plus now they can’t even earn.
Keeping this in mind I decided to do something for them I had planned a detailed blog on this but since this is what I’m doing currently I must write it up. Last week I gathered some friends and we collected money to buy ration bags for the poor to distribute, one bag contained enough food to last a month. It was really difficult to get the food in bulk, Monday the first day we went out to survey the market and find out where we could get the necessary items at a cost-effective price. It was not until Wednesday that we found a reliable source and then on Friday we went out to distribute 250 bags to the poor households who hadn’t eaten for days I know how important it is to stay in isolation but the poor would die of starvation not from corona here. We completed our first phase and now are trying to get 300 bags to be distributed once again next week by God’s Will. May we succeed
Other than this it is usually the same now I have more than ample time to game with my squad we play CS GO and CS 1.6 among ourselves and it is really good fun. We do it now on a daily basis from 12 Am to 3 Am the sleeping schedule is a little out of proportion nowadays, I sleep really late and wake up around 1in the evening. We try lots of different dishes since we have the time and supplies, a few days back the family made Ramen a Japanese dish, since all of us watch anime and love Naruto it made us feel a little bit of Itchiraku Ramen. Yesterday it was shawarma a middle eastern dish and today plain old classic burgers so life is good in terms of gaming and food.
To be honest it is really boring sometimes I tend to kill time through social media or Netflix what not but a man needs to go outside to hang out with the squad. It isn’t happening real soon, and on top of that it was my final semester in University which is now postponed hurray to that, now I’m thinking of getting a course done from coursera or Udemy to utilize so much time on hand. It is good thing Hive is alive otherwise I would have been in shatters, I can write what my heart says on here and people have the best and most positive responses.
Good luck to you all and stay safe, protect your self and your loved ones. This tough time will be better as time passes, this is another test on humanity and we all will face this head on and succeed. Just remember to ask your neighbors, relatives or friends if they need anything and avoid stocking up too much this will leave the poor people with less things on the market to provide their families. Hive on people!
Good to see your healthy hope you stay that way been a while. I have just been playing splinterlands and hanging out with my kids.
Thanks, and yeah splinterland is a must also I reached Diamond III for the second time.
