United Nation Organization and World Health Organization declared covid-19 as worst human crisis after World War 2.

Nepal too was affected by covid-19 pandemic. With very short notice unexpectedly the government decided to completely lockdown 24th of April 2019. The lockdown was all of certain. Many people were unaware of such crisis causing panic everywhere. We too were inexperience in such crisis. But during 2nd lockdown we were prepared for the action. Thus we took the action to support people safely without being asymptomatic carrier of the disease. We took suggestion and advice from doctors, health agencies and government agencies to protect ourselves and beneficiaries seeking for help. We followed the guideline of World Health Organization and educate the people to do so. So that, they can be safe and their loved ones remain safe. Our players were at that time was in great sorrow, grief and pain. Many were daily wage earner and many were not in the stage to be benefited or seek help for their loved ones. We became the hope and create a light in their heart in the time of daily crisis.
Shihan Janak Subedi, the president of Nepal Kwanmukan Karate Do Association took a major step to volunteer the players in crisis. The gofondme, the world’s biggest crowd funding site became our means. Shihan Janak Subedi posted an ad in the site which ultimately benefited more than 185 beneficiaries and their families. All funds were utilized to benefit ultimate beneficiaries, we transported to them from our head office at first and to their doorstep thereafter. Many national media made a good coverage of this great effort. Our hard work can also be viewed in YouTube. Our dedicated team of volunteer will be prepared similarly in the future in any such major crisis.
