New Light
Words by Pracheta Banerjee
November 16, 2021
The response to the Covid-19 pandemic was particularly disastrous and exposed how painfully underprepared the world was. Millions were pushed below the poverty line and were forced to deal with diseases, malnutrition, homelessness, and lost opportunities.
“New Light” focuses on one of the more painful realities in the aftermath of the pandemic; and is intended to be a reminder that this could be any of us, in the darkest hours, we need guidance for the moments that seem beyond our control. Countless people living in poverty lost their lives due to the lack of proper resources; “New Light” encourages citizens to be more responsible and provide resources to the people who require help.
