The FM Band: what did you do to help during the Covid?

They make protective equipment for carers and law enforcement. They help the homeless and other populations vulnerable or exposed to the virus. This week in “La Bande FM”, we talk about “solidarity”.

During the next broadcast, Thursday May 28 (12:30 pm ET / 9:30 am PT), we will highlight for an hour the journeys of French people who are committed to those who are most vulnerable or most at risk of contract the virus.

-Eglantine Clocher, Consular Counselor in Houston and nurse, who co-launched a Facebook page for making masks and other equipment for caregivers, homeless, seniors and law enforcement

-Benjamin Chemla, one of the artisans of Garment District for Gowns, an initiative to make smocks for caregivers in New York

-Isabelle Lambotte, president of the Share My Meals association, which distributes meals to vulnerable populations in Princeton (New Jersey)

-Sandrine Dos Santos, owner of the Ratatouille restaurant in New York and member of the LIC Masks network

-Elise Granjot, designer in South Beach who started making masks with his company Zelivia

We also want to hear how you, dear members of the French Morning family, got involved during this period. Did you also make protective equipment in your living room? Have you joined an association to help people at risk? Or raised funds to support a cause? Exactly, what cause do you think is important to support now?
