At that time, I quit my job to raise my child so I had free time. I saw the works that my mom was doing, which were tiring. So, I joined the program (Village Health Volunteer (VHV)) so that I could help her. Volunteering makes my heart at ease and very happy. I have been a full-time Village Health Volunteer ever since after the 2011 Thailand floods. 2.) The main duty of the Village Health Volunteer (VHV) (regarding the pandemic) is to raise awareness about protection measures against coronavirus. What I can do (as a volunteer) is to distribute whatever donations I can find, such as cleaning alcohol gel, fabric masks, etc. to people in the community and tell them to avoid large gathering, practice social distancing, wear a mask and frequently wash their hands.
