\u201cThe coronavirus pandemic has impacted the way ADRA delivers humanitarian aid around the world,\u201d says Mario Oliveira, director for emergency management at ADRA. \u201cI am amazed at how ADRA programs have redirected, adapted different solutions and implemented resources with small amounts of funds in some cases to do so much to respond to COVID-19 emergencies. We are taking advantage of our infrastructure, personnel, and trust of the communities we support to deliver aid promptly.  We have also adapted to new regulations to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our staff, volunteers, and clients.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been a key ally in the majority of these projects as it has provided support through its network of hospitals, television and radio broadcast facilities, and\u00a0thousands of volunteers.\u00a0ADRA has also joined forces with\u00a0other\u00a0partner organizations, such as\u00a0Airlink, Hong Kong Adventist Hospital,\u00a0AdventHealth, and World Vision China, to continue to deliver medical supplies\u00a0and other resources to hospitals and healthcare facilities to assist affected communities. ADRA\u00a0is expanding its relief efforts to\u00a0more than 31 additional projects during its next COVID-19 response phase.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
