The word Coronavirus was absolutely new to me like everyone else. I did not have any clue about COVID-19 and its symptoms until Fatema Apa of PROSHOMON made awareness visits in our area distributing leaflets informing us of preventive measures.

Around the first week of June, I realized that I had some of the symptoms of Coronavirus and immediately called Fatema Apa, who advised me to visit Chandpur Sadar Hospital to test for coronavirus. The test came out positive and my initial reaction was "I am going to die." It was Fatema Apa who kept my spirits high by reassuring that following the right protocol will help me come out of this illness. During my home isolation, as advised by the doctors, Fatema Apa's words of advice, wisdom, and courage made it possible for me to recover after two weeks and testing negative for COVID-19.

"My heartfelt thanks to PROSHOMON for proactively initiating leaflet distribution among the people with appropriate information on the symptoms and protocol to manage the coronavirus."
