Mumbai: Bhumi Pednekar has made a mark for herself as a socially conscious star who is leading from the front to save as many lives as possible during the Coronavirus pandemic. Now, Bhumi, who has launched a much-lauded social media initiative Covid Warrior, has now teamed up with spiritual icon Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and his The Art of Living Foundation to help aid people suffering from Covid-19 in India.
The Art of
Living Foundation has launched Mission Zindagi, a pan-India volunteer driven
service initiative for Covid relief. The volunteers have already been serving
people and families affected by Covid-19 in several cities across India on a
war footing by ensuring that information on availability of hospital beds,
oxygen supply, cooked food, doctor consultation and the much needed guidance on
mental health reaches the needy on time.
Now all these
diverse initiatives are being rolled out across the country for wider and
smoother outreach. Seven verticals of Covid relief will be covered under this
mission:
1. Hospital:
Hospital updates related to availability of oxygen and non-oxygen beds.
2. Arranging
for donation of oxygen cylinders & concentrators and information on their
availability.
3. Connect
ambulances for emergencies.
4. Doctor:
Connecting with Doctors on call for consultation on cases of mild COVID and
home isolation.
5. Connect
with local food suppliers & providers.
6. Connecting
with sources of Ayurvedic medicines.
7. Mental
Health: Meditation and Yoga Workshops, along with counselling for all age
groups.
Sri Sri Ravi
Shankar says, “At this juncture, it is pertinent that all of us come together
and extend our hand to help restore the physical health, mental health and
vibrancy of our people. Keeping this in view announcing #MissionZindagi.
It will provide a platform to those who are in need of help.”
Bhumi adds,
“India has been going through a critical time as we are battling the worst
phase of the second wave of Covid-19 pandemic. At this time, it is important
for all of us to unite and help each other in this moment of crisis. I’m deeply
honoured to collaborate with Gurudev and his Art of Living's #MissionZindagi to
bridge the gap between those in need with the relevant resources that can aid
and help save lives. Covid Warrior is an initiative that is close to my heart
and with Gurudev’s help, we can now help so many more people across the
country.”
