SANTA BARBARA, Calif. Three siblings in Santa Barbara have created a campaign to aid India, as the country copes with the worst COVID-19 outbreak in the world.
Over the past few weeks, Marymount 5th grader Jasmine Lind has been paying close attention to the COVID-19 crisis in India.
“I’ve seen a lot of devastating photos of people not getting vaccines and waiting without oxygen,” she said.
Her brother, Jordan, is a sophomore at San Marcos High School.
“I’ve just see just a lot of people struggling to get oxygen because a lot of people have COVID right now in India,” he said.
Welcome to Noozhawk Asks, a new feature in which you ask the questions, you help decide what Noozhawk investigates, and you work with us to find the answers.
Here’s how it works: You share your questions with us in the nearby box. In some cases, we may work with you to find the answers. In others, we may ask you to vote on your top choices to help us narrow the scope. And we’ll be regularly asking you for your feedback on a specific issue or topic.
We also expect to work together with the reader who asked the winning questions to find the answer together. Noozhawk’s objective is to come at questions from a place of curiosity and openness, and we believe a transparent collaboration is the key to achieve it.
