COVID 19 - Economic Impact - Help which common people can do

Hi all,

This is something which I want everyone to do.

Currently, all over the world , people are facing the impacts due to Covid 19.
The best help which people can do now is to be isolated.
Yet people are there who are facing financial problems that, they can't buy groceries / food items now. But still, there are some people/ organisations, which are helping people in giving food for them. And people are donating money currently as the relief fund.

But the real problem will be faced after the lockdown, after some days.

So how can we help here.
One-thing which most of the people agree is: no-one has assurance about their financial situation. In this time, no common people can help by contributing financially. Then how can we help in solving the people problem as a commoner?

1. If you are a software developer, you can start making an app, which connects, all the vegetable / fruit seller, and the needy/suffering people and they must be informed about the vegetables/ fruits which may perish in some time - so that, they can get it.
Question may arise like, will they be using phones?
In this case, the NGOs, or some meet-up groups who are interested in social works may also be connected, who in turn can connect with the nearby needy people through some common phone.
This app may be intended to connect people who are working in catering services/ marriage halls, party organisers who can inform volunteers to help distributing the food which is in excess.

2. Knowledged people can start accumulating resources and teach them how to work, live, manage in this situation.
For example, they can start their starts-ups with people who lost the job, can also start some other small scale business hiring people who are suffering financially.
One such situation may be like: People who are full stack developer, who are looking for the jobs can make a group and start working on a project where some website development templates can be made and can start growing in that way.
At-least with these people will be able to earn some money for minimal survival needs like food, clothing, repaying loans etc.,

3. Can start guiding people who are suffering.
Have you people seen Naruto?
Please start watching it if possible.
It is the time, we must start learning, guiding our people, upcoming generation
For example, if you are having knowledge on something which is making you earn, you can start helping by guiding people ( at-least one or two) to make them grow up on their own, to have some career, or something like that. You will be able to spare sometime for them, some treats outside once in a while, like-that. It is almost like a duty to share the knowledge we have got, isn't it?

4.We can start making a group connecting with suffering / needy people, sparing some time, once in a week, giving some ideas how one can come up in life.
For example, most of the people, can grow some vegetable/ fruit plant in their home itself. like Tomato, potato, onion, chilly, broad beans, drumstick, guava tree etc.,  which can be helpful for doing some business / for daily food etc.,

If we try exploring the ideas, I am very sure that, we will get number of ideas.
Everything is possible if we are united and understanding each other's situation - which should be the quality, we all must be proud of....

Start talking with your colleagues, start forming some social service groups, and be kind and If that happens, really, Humankind is mostly like won the war against COVID 19.
