This is a challenging time for people around the world as coronavirus continues to spread. But amid all the worrying news, here is an inspiring story of Shadi Shhadeh, a Syrian refugee living in Geneva, Switzerland. He and his wife mobilised their refugee friends across the country to help vulnerable people keep safe from Covid-19. Volunteers from his group, Help From Refugees, go out and get basic supplies for people who need assistance. Shadi Shhadeh explains to Lawrence Pollard where the idea came from.
