#COVID19 and the glamorous helper

Has it ever crossed your mind that being a helper is actually very glamorous?

Yes, I really mean that. As in giving a helping hand to people in need – emotionally, materially, financially, even in doing their house chores.

Scandalous, right?

I sincerely hope that if we learnt no other lesson from our experiences with the #COVID19 situation as citizens of the world, it should be the glamour of being a helper.

Everyone continued to clap for the health workers in the frontline, and rightly so. But today, I also wish to celebrate those heroes of our communities that are giving their own helping hand in their own little ways.

Did you give a cup of beans to someone?

Did you give a tuber of yam to another?

Probably, all you could give is a loaf of bread?

Or yours is even the showing of an opportunity that can help people take back their lives after losing their jobs to the economic downturn consequential to the #COVID19 pandemic.

Maybe a smile and a call is all you could afford. A little kind word of encouragement here and there in the face of this crisis that taught us that we must work together as citizens of the world to triumph over this strange situation we are now faced with.

Did you give a stranded stranger a shelter due to the hotels not working?

Is your own that kind act of self isolating in order not to get others in your community infected by your exposure to the virus?

Whatever act or helping hand you have extended in this period, you have added glamour to an otherwise dreadful situation around us.

This stands as a tribute to you 🙌🏽

Even if it is to help the elderly do get their groceries from the corner shop. If it is to stay home, missing your family member that is in the frontline, understanding that we all have to make sacrifices at this time. If it is to give the gift of face masks or give your expertise to help contain this virus. If it is being careful not to expose others or to cooperate with the protocols of keeping all safe, we celebrate you too.

You are all the heroes of the this triumph and we celebrate you all 👏🏽

I may not have a lot of money to offer anyone at this time; but I do have an idea of how you can survive the economic crisis that may follow this period. I will be glad to share that knowledge with you if you are willing to learn. Just talk to me and I will be glad to also be of help to you?
