PETALING JAYA: Covid-19 may have resulted in a worldwide quarantine but it has also ushered in a worldwide movement of those with the noble intention of helping ease the burden of frontliners who are placing their lives at risk every day.
Dubbed “Projek Pelangi” or Rainbow Project, the initiative originally began in 2015 to help flood victims in Kelantan.They decided to do their part to help Covid-19 frontliners after receiving an urgent call at 1.00 am from a desperate frontliner explaining about the critically low supply of PPE. The distressed caller also said the number of frontliners succumbing to the virus had increased, and a request was made for the orphanage’s help to make 2,000 PPE face shields urgently.“That night itself, the residents leaped into action and 2,000 face shields were completed within two days. They were distributed in less than a day,” explains Shauqi Hassan, a full-time volunteer at the orphanage.
Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines are also observed in the making of the PPE. In fact, the PPE material used is two times thicker and stronger as it is specially ordered from the factory.“The residents here love getting involved in such projects. Not only does it help to pass the time, but they also play a vital role now as a support system to the frontliners hard at work,” adds Shauqi.
