The global pandemic has completelytransformed the way in which the world operates. Consequently.
the institution has had to adapt to these new demands. so that it may continue to serve the
community and still grow as an organisation. Primarily. this has meant a complete migration of all of

online classes and programs has been remarkable during the pandemic. allowing the charity to reach
and interact with new faces and families across Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and beyond. More
locally, the lockdown meant that the most vulnerable from the community needed help with day-to-
day activities like acquiring medicine and grocery shopping, but also with difficult situations such a5
loneliness and the loss of a loved one. fime and resources were devoted toward5 making Sure that
