Many NGOS and citizen initiatives have provided aid to citizens during the pandemic. In an unprecedented manner, social media has proven to be a life saver in dire circumstances and has played a crucial role in the everyday struggle of hapless citizens seeking aid. It has also brought our attention to the initiatives that are working tirelessly on ground level and helped us mobilise our resources in support of their efforts. Countless individuals across disciplines, from performing arts to academia, have turned to raising funds via online events. From dance workshops to culinary talks, we have rounded up a list of diverse online fundraising events this weekend that are as enjoyable as they are noble.
