Senior citizens living in NGO Davo, in Dwarka, Delhi, face shortages of food during the Coronavirus lockdown
The HinduFor the senior citizens who live on the premises of the not-for-profit home for seniors, Davo, in Dwarka, Delhi, social distancing is not new. “While driving, I would come across old people on highways like National Highway 24, the Grand Trunk Road. “We cannot let them be outside even for a minute," says Goswami, referring to the lockdown in India, due to the coronavirus pandemic. “I believe in overcoming hindrances, and we'll get through COVID- 19 too,” says Sharma, who came to Davo in 2017, directly from Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital, where he was getting treated for chikungunya. “We play bhajan, kirtan and they start singing.” To ensure that the inmates are healthy, they are given a vitamin C supplement -- Goswami understands that the elderly are the most vulnerable.
