How You Can Do Your Social Responsibility While Staying at Home During COVID-19 Pandemic?

Recently I was going through a bad phase in my life. While moving on, Coronavirus came into the picture. Few people that I met recently through various mediums changed my whole thought process and made me believe that’s humanity is still alive.

Some people left their lavish lives and went out of their ways to set up NGOs to help others. They shared their story of struggle which inspired me a lot. Some of them are working on fulfilling dreams, spreading happiness and bringing smiles to the faces of under privileged kids. I feel as if I am attracting these people into my life these days and it is a beautiful feeling. These people have made me realize my role towards society and finding the better or I would say the noble purpose of my life.

Now I believe every bad phase gives you good lessons to lead a better life.

Today when the whole world is fighting with the corona pandemic, a lot of people are social distancing and self-quarantining themselves while many others are doing their duty to keeping us safe. We owe them huge respect but with that, there also must be some steps that we can take to help them better. Do not hesitate to come forward and give them a helping hand, this is the time to earn some blessings.

“After every night there is a sunrise but when there is dark night, we have to light the candle of hope and humanity.”

During this difficult time how you can help this world to make a better place to live. I came across a lot of things that amazed me how responsible a few people are, even in this crucial time.

I have collected a lot of ideas from various channels I came across.

I would like to share those with you guys. So that you can help people while staying at home:

#1 Food for the animals on the street

Please leave food for the stray dogs or animals on the streets or you can leave the food to the security in your society, so they can give them something to eat.

#2 Help the cleaning staff

The people working on the streets and cleaning the city for us, we can show some generosity by at least providing them some food, water or tea if possible. As during the lockdown, there is nothing much available for them to consume.

#3 Help the maids working for you

Do not cut the salary of your maids or security guards if they don’t show up to work. They also have a family to take care of and if possible, help them by offering some groceries or some extra money.

#4 Help the Corona Warriors

If there is any corona warrior staying in your society and vicinity, please do offer help. They might not have time to take their own care but we do. If they need some grocery or water refill or anything. As they are staying up all day and night to help the country fighting this COVID-19 monster. We can at least help them by asking if they need any errands to do.

#5 Help the security staff in your society

Prepare some extra food for the security guards in your society, as they can’t go out to eat. Ask them if they need anything or their family needs anything. You don’t know what they are going through but still showing up at work to provide you security.

#6 Help the homeless

Provide food for the homeless if you see any in your vicinity. They are the people living on daily wages or living at your mercy. This is the time to show some kindness.

#7 Help the police staff

Police are playing a very vital role to control the corona situation in the country. They are staying up all day to keep you safe and making sure the disease does not spread more.

What you can do? You can offer water, tea, snacks or anything they need while they are on duty around your area. Because a lot of shops are closed and they are still doing their jobs, it’s our responsibility to help them too.

#8 Donate some money

Corona had a huge impact on the economy across the globe. Do some savings while staying at home. Use a small part of that saving to help others who are suffering in this situation. If our young working-class decides to donate, every single penny could help the government to do the damage control more effectively.

A lot of donations and relief funds would be required to get the countries back on track now and afterward. A lot of heroes coming forward to help personally and financially. You can join the army too! Every one of us wants to serve the country, then this is the time.

The world cannot be better if we keep expecting others to take the initiative, or complaining about the government. We have to take part of the responsibility and inspire others to do the same. It’s human nature we expect a lot but we do not want to start.

Every coin has two different sides.

While hundreds of countries facing the corona pandemic emergency, some good things also happened in this duration:

• Corona brought people home. Some people who haven’t spent time with their kids in years are now able to be with them all the time.
• The Earth is recovering; the air pollution is at its lowest point. Even the most polluted cities in the world are showing signs of good air quality. Nature is restoring!
• Because of the Corona pandemic, the whole world is fighting together, helping each other, sharing information, getting relief funds collected.
• Humanity is alive! People going out of their ways to help others.
• Countries bringing their citizens back, providing them accommodation. People felt the belongingness of being a part of that country by respecting the kind gesture.
• Public places are getting cleaned and sanitized which was long due. We owe it to our planet.
• The usage of plastic reduced. Imagine when you are at home, the usage of plastic will be reduced drastically.
• Personal development. People got some me time to find a better purpose in life. For some people it’s working as rehabilitation, for others, it is giving them time to work on their hobbies and borrowed some personal development.

This is my personal point of view over this corona pandemic situation. I believe you might have noticed a lot more things. I would love to hear your point of view too. You might also have some stories to share, please write in comments, it will help others to learn more ideas.

Please help me spread the words and awareness about it. Share and comment if possible.
