A call for volunteers: we need YOUR help with our communication efforts
We are looking for public policy experts, designers, healthcare PRO’s, content creators, social media strategists and journalism students to join us in this fight. Interested folks can email me at adk@gifsagar.com
When we started this newsletter, we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. As it turns out reading 12 newspapers a day to find relevant news is not as easy as we had postulated. While we are connected via this newsletter, our team does more than this and we need YOU to join our team. We are quite short-staffed and need talented people to help us with communication efforts.
Who are we?
Our team started independently on solo projects but united under the banner GoCoronaGo.org.Due to the scale of the crisis, we have dispersed into projects that are dear to us. The members of our team have created projects like Corona Tracker (https://coronatracker.in) which has now served close to 4 million people with 9 million sessions.
We have created (in association with endcoronavirus.org) a district-by-district dashboard to help public policy experts, district magistrates, businesses and journalists.
We are also working with Shetkari Sanghtana to help mobilize farmers in Maharashtra. Heck, one of our team members is successfully able to create 3D printed face shields for frontline heroes in mass quantities. So the scope of work is huge and being able to ably communicate all of it is a considerable challenge.
For the past month, our team has been reading newspapers to create an extensive list of COVID-19 Star reporters. We have further categorized these reports into the following:
1. Public Policy & zoning
2. ICMR & testing
3. Migrant and agrarian crisis
4. Economic revival and contact tracing
5. Telemedicine and existing comorbidities
6. Treatment and identification of asymptomatic patients
7. PPE availability & well-being of frontline heroes
We are looking for:
1. Public policy experts
- Designers
- Healthcare PRO’s with an existing network
- Content creators aka influencers
- Social media strategists aka meme experts
- Most importantly, journalism students to join us in this fight
If you are interested, please email me adk@gifsagar.com with a brief about yourself. 1 hour of previous time per day would make a world of a difference in our struggle with COVID-19 in India.
Thank you in advance, be well, hail & hearty.
