It all started on 1st april, 2020..
When I saw our Srilaxmi Gunda from our BCH family, posting pictures of the beautiful homemade masks she made, I wondered if others in our BCH family would like to join hands because masks are the utmost need for the healthcare workers & scaling up the production is an issue. When I proposed my idea, within a day, many beautiful souls jumped in, also tagging their friends along & here we are THE COVID-19 MASK MAKING TEAM.. a true example of.. #TogetherWeAreOne… Thank you so much Archana Shah for suggesting the Team Name!
