Description

Poverty eradication has been one of the most studied, yet under-achieved goals of the modern era. During this pandemic, the world witnessed that the most vulnerable ones do not have access to health care, in short of necessary items to prevent themselves from virus, and are living in unhygienic and populous conditions. Minju Kim, from the Department of English learned through this project that there is much awareness that needs to be raised in communities.
