Help a Fellow Human
HELP A FELLOW HUMAN
After, the interesting article of "Women representation in Sri Lankan politics", we decided to meet with article " Help a fellow human". This article is written by Gayan Jayasinghe, first year student of Faculty of Management & Finance.
Corona! Corona! Corona! The most heard word of this year and
what an year it has been there was always a bit of suspicion in the number
2020. Most of us will never forget this year even though we were at home most
of the time. Me as a person coming from a middle class family spent my
quarantine without many problems and quite leisurely but this was not the case
for most of Sri Lankans. The servant aunty who comes to our house was asked to stop
because of this health risks and when I think about it 'the daily income
earners' their life may have become far more worse. 
Rs. 5000 payment for daily wage earners is given by the
government as a compensation for the lost income but whether it is sufficient
is still questionable. A typical family of a daily wage worker has a
husband, wife, about 3 children (under 18 years) and one senior member. 4 in
every 10 mothers and 2 in every 10 fathers had never been to school. Around 45%
of both had completed up to 8th grade or lower. With school closures and
sore reliance on parents for home-schooling, this demographic group of daily
wage workers is at the highest risk of not being able to give their children
the support they would need with home schooling. Furthermore they have limited
resources to consume daily and sometimes they might be only having one meal for
a day.
It is reasonable to say a lower income
earning family is struggling everyday because of the impact of corona and we as
human beings should think about our fellow humans. If we can give something for
the ones who are in need in any way we can during these challenging times it
would be amazing.
