For nearly forty years, the UUA has worked with grassroots partners in India battling poverty and inequality. Never have we witnessed a crisis like the second surge of COVID-19. Every day our program partners learn of colleagues who have lost family members or fallen themselves to the virus. In Gujarat, an epicenter of the surge, people are lining up for hours outside hospitals in the searing heat, waiting for medicine, oxygen, and hospital beds that may not exist.β The raging virus has not spared anyoneβsmall towns, villages, and big cities have all been hit hard. Yet our partners across the country are still ensuring aid reaches those most in need. Team members who are vaccinated or recently recovered are mounting campaigns and trainings to expand vaccinations and deliver emergency relief.
In this time of intensifying crisis, our hearts mourn for all who have been lost to this virus. But our faith is also sustained by the resilience of those working to advance solidarity and justice, even as they struggle to survive.
