Living well, the DOBARA way
The Hindu
Hyderabad-based septuagenarian Sukanya Baba hasn’t forgotten what happened in March 2020; she remembers feeling anxious, stuck and lonely when the pandemic outbreak resulted in a national lockdown. But in a month’s time, Sukanya found a way to stay connected with the outside world.
Helping her build a virtual bridge of connectivity, and even make new friends, was DOBARA virtual meet-up programme. “We shared views, exchanged ideas and made new friends. It would not have been possible during normal times. This constant communication and engaging in new activities opened up my world, eased my anxiety and gave emotional support,” Sukanya says, adding “I felt as if there was always somebody with me.”More Related News
