WEDS.AA together with Ambassadors, Donates to Fight COVID-19 in Action 1 (April-May 2020)
In the most difficult period of China’s fight against the epidemic, the international community gave us invaluable support. Leaders of more than 170 countries and heads of more than 50 international and regional organizations have expressed support and condolences to China’s leaders, and 79 countries and 10 international organizations have provided massive assistance to the Chinese people in their fight against the epidemic.
At the dawn of victory in the prevention and control of the epidemic in China, the epidemic broke out and spread in many countries. Europe is still the center of the global pandemic, the situation in the United States is grim, the epidemic in Asian countries is not optimistic, and there is a risk of spread in Africa.
The grace of a drop of water is reciprocated by a spring of water. China feels deeply for countries affected by the epidemic and has taken the initiative to provide assistance within its capacity to those countries in need. The Chinese government has announced emergency assistance to more than 80 countries, as well as international and regional organizations such as the WHO and the African Union, including medical supplies such as testing kits and masks. Local governments, enterprises and non-governmental organizations in China have also provided assistance to countries hit hard by the epidemic.
At this critical moment, the Women Empowerment and Development Society in Asia-Africa has also joined hands with caring businesses and people in China to provide assistance to Asian and African countries to the best of its ability.
On April 5, 2020, WEDS.AA received a request for help from the Embassy of Iran and the Embassy of Ethiopia in China, asking WEDS.AA to coordinate with domestic enterprises and people to donate a batch of medical supplies for epidemic prevention in the country.
On May 27, 2020, WEDS.AA and Beijing Lianxin Charity Foundation delivered the fourth batch of donated medical supplies to the Temporary Embassy of Ethiopia in China. H.e. Shomei Toga, Embassy of Ethiopia in China; Minister and Commercial Counsellor Mr. Nicus Kobod; Embassy Secretary Huo Meng; President of Women Empowerment and Development Society in Asia-Africa Ms. Zhao Meiling; Chief Advisor of Women Empowerment and Development Society in Asia-Africa Ms. Zhou Xiuhua; Mr. Ma Xinliang, President of Beijing Lianxin Charity Foundation, Mr. CAI Peng, Secretary General, Mr. Miao Chunhui, Manager of Junfeng Spectrum Beijing Company, and other volunteers attended the receiving ceremony of donated medical supplies.
