Young volunteers

2021 has been the challenging year for Burma. The unjust coup and the resulting protests have killed and
maimed many in the country. The third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic has also led to many deaths. Across the country, many people are suffering due to a shortage of doctors and oxygen supply. The price for medicine has become exorbitant. In response,
many young people across the country started to volunteer in fighting this pandemic. For me they are the real heroes with a sense of humanity and compassion.

With this visual narrative, I explore the spirit of these young volunteers around me.
