Welcome to the online program of A Month of Reunion, organized by Global People Daily News GPDN, an independent international news media. 

 

The video we played at the beginning of the program is named "Prayer for the World". The Covid-19 epidemic is ravaging the world, and it seems that there is no end in sight. We hope that by spreading this prayer, we can circulate positive energy all over the world.

 

Family reunions are especially important during these difficult times around the world. Once a year, each region or nation has its own time for family gatherings. Christmas, Lunar New Year, Muharram, and other holidays bring families together. On these days, family members scattered across the country will rush home to be reunited, particularly the elderly who are looking forward to it.

 

Our first speaker, Danielle, a 75-year-old Swiss grandmother, is going to share her families about her Christmas reunion. For the most part it is a religious holiday, as she was a little girl. Over time, however, she dropped the religious connotation in favor of family gathering! It can be an opportunity to pay attention to a friend or write a message to others! Family meetings with her children and grandchildren makes her vibrant at Christmas.

 

Christmas is a beautiful celebration for some but not for all! She thinks of all these lonely people at home: either they have no family, or they are bereaved! Others have no money or must work that day! They finally wait for Christmas to pass very quickly to no longer see and hear the words "gifts - Christmas joy". On Christmas Day, she would like everyone to be happy, healthy, and surrounded by family. She would like Christmas to open a perspective of peace, love, joy, sharing between people and on that day, feel the tranquility, harmony and well-being for all! The fear of COVID has unfortunately increased social isolation and individualism. Therefore, she would like people to live by looking out for others, by being attentive to others and not just withdrawn into themselves, that they listen to each other more. She would like that these people who just manage to live for lack of means can receive more to have a decent life. These are her wishes for Christmas.

 

Next, Nigerian social worker, Smith Nwokocha, thanks the COVID-19 pandemic isn't all bad, but it's a good opportunity to strengthen our relationships with our families because we have more chances to be with and spend time with them.

 

Amna from Pakistan, our next speaker, feels the same way. In Pakistan, informal social gatherings with friends and family are an important part of the social life. Her life has been significantly changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As we affected due to the COVID-19 plague, that squeezed our facilities to safely meet with others. Many people were involuntary to stop or reschedule evocative proceedings, such as reschedule marriages or going to join it, or meetings, or parties, and family crowds. She planned to go and attend all events of my friends and family by adopting precautions to protect me and others.

 

She visited her friends and family members and this pandemic bind them together. They had lunch together, dinner together, and breakfast together. Then they moved to their relatives to support them. They planned together to Plantation in their area, in their school, as this was Plantation drive already by their government in these days. She delivered some sessions on water conservation in the Rural areas and later on Financial Assistant & Support. She taught them the skills to earn and how to survive these days and after. They visited other places together, and felt others' pain. She realized the Love for Humanity in all. Then she started Virtual Conferences at someone’s residence,  and gained a good amount of knowledge as well as public awareness.

 

Almost 3 years of pandemic, does pandemic people close together or far apart? Nwe N Tun would say that close together. She works as an MRI technician at Children's Hospital Los Angeles in California, USA. She thinks that we do gathering online or person frequently during the COVID pandemic. The technology is more advanced in these years due to pandemic. A lot of people gather online; online meeting, virtual classes, computer games, and meeting with friends and families. Online meeting is more convenient, save money and save our way to people close together. By online gathering, we can meet anytime, anywhere and any different country. We don’t need to buy expensive tickets to meet each other, or taking leaves from work or school. Meanwhile, the popularization and ease of use of technology allow us to stay in touch with our families while keeping a safe distance during the epidemic.

 

Since her job puts her at a much higher risk of infection than the general public, how can she defend herself while also protecting others in the hospital and family in the face of the escalating Omicron epidemic? She told us that we have to cut the chain of infective process. “How?” We need to follow the rule and regulations for prevention of infection. CDC and all health organization recommend everyone needs to wear face mask, frequent washing hands, social distances, and get vaccinated, and so on. However, vaccine does not protect us 100% and it’s just cutting part of the chain of infective process. So, we should follow 6 useful tips to stop the spread of infection. Wash your hands frequently, wear face mask, practice social distancing, stay positive, avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth, and increase your lung capacity with breathing exercises.

 

Moreover, she practices Tai Ji Men Qigong everyday that’s strengthen my immune system. By practicing Qigong, it can increase our lung capacity, slow breath and movement that more focus on our body and mind clam and get energy. Many scientists prove benefit of practicing Qigong.
 

We cannot be stay home forever to avoid infected. We have to go out and do what we need to do for survive. Prevention is important that cut the chain of infectious process. She thanks the advanced technology that people close together in pandemic, and appreciate to all scientists, health care workers, all friends and families.  We all follow the rules, signs, and professional recommendations. By doing those COVIDs and infection won’t beat us. Sure, we can fight and against the pandemic!
