对抗新冠肺炎疫情系列:如何担当起帮助别人的角色?

新冠肺炎疫情影响著每一个人,当中包括社区裏最脆弱的群体。南丰作坊好奇:我们在这艰难时期,能如何主动地向这些需要帮助的人伸出援手?所以在这一节网络研讨会中,传讯顾问及电台主持Saadia  Usmani与来自慈善团体的嘉宾,为观众分享回馈社会的经验。我们为您总结了他们的建议,让您知道如何帮助社区中需要协助的群体:

捐赠与捐款

慈善团体在疫情爆发下,面对资源和资金紧拙的挑战。如果您想减轻疫情对这些群体带来的影响,不妨捐赠牛奶和尿布等必需品到Pathfinders。此外,香港社区组织协会不仅需要口罩,也正寻找更多电脑推动网上学习。由於不少筹款活动因疫情而被取消,因此不少慈善机构正积极地寻求资金。请在这艰难时期,透过支持慈善机构帮助本地被边缘化的群体 —— 如果您的能力允许,请向他们捐款!

成为义工

帮助无家者的ImpactHK创办人Jeff说:「走上街头,向人群展示您的善心。」在这充满挑战的时期,他们需要及时的支持,大家不妨申请成为义工,帮助机构递送饭餐、口罩等日用品给这些群体。虽然全世界大部分人口仍然处於封城状态,但也有不少「在家义务工作」的机会 — 香港社区组织协会社区组织幹事施丽珊说,只要您有Whatsapp便可以成为义工教师,协助在家缺乏学习支援的学童。

支持慈善团体

提升社会的意识可能是最简单的帮助。南丰纱厂的卢乐谦分享了一个名为「壹屋两餐」的期间外卖店计划,以实惠的价钱向需要协助的人提供食物,藉此支持社区中的「隐形群体」。慈善团体均表示,他们珍视和欣赏任何支持和提升慈善项目关注度的力量。大家不妨登记他们的电邮通讯和在社交媒体上追踪他们的近况 —这些行动看似简单,但对慈善机构来说都是最直接、实质的帮助。

重点

我们正在危难中经历一场重新探索和适应「新常态」的旅程。希望我们能一同迎接改变,并同时向需要援手的群体展示同情心、正能量和善心。我们相信终有一日能够克服风雨中的波澜跌宕,在彼岸成为更强大的人!
