GW Community Response to COVID-19

I spent time over Zoom with my socially isolated Grandmother watching TV, playing games, and talking to keep her company.

Orientation for tele-tutoring students in DC and Boston public schools.

Delivered groceries from Trader Joe's to a neighbor in my apartment building.

This service was for my BISC class and I was asked to prepare a meal for my family and so I chose to prep a green thai curry.

I helped a seventh-grader who only speaks Russian and Ukrainian go over her checks and balances powerpoint and answer questions that followed. She read the PowerPoint out loud and I corrected her pronunciation, explained the concepts using easier words and cognates, and translated some challenging words into Russian.
*Notified my TA on 4/9/20 via email*

Made calls to recently naturalized US citizens in Spanish to see how their citizenship experience has been and if they need any extra help due to covid

Completed a post for the class page: "Share your recipes"

My grandpa has gotten the hang of the online classes, but I sit with him before and during to make sure he doesn't need anything. I am enjoying observing his teaching which I've never done before.

When I'm at Crossroads, I help bag bags. In the bags we put utensils, napkins, cereal, milk, a container of hot food etc... Even though it's not a lot of fun waking up at 5:30 AM, just knowing I'm giving back to the community and helping others makes all the difference.
