Our coronavirus show is ongoing. Day 7
Millions people have lost their jobs, and other many have seen their earnings fall since the coronavirus pandemic began.
Our today's guest is Gervasio, he will share with us the challenges he faces during Covid-19 pandemic.
Hello, my name is Gervasio Reis, I am from the province of Benguela, resident in the capital Luanda, I am the father of 4 children. I am here with one of my children and I have the strength to work
Well, I'm going to share my story about how the coronavirus affected me.
I worked in one of the warehouses here in the city, my boss traveled to China in search of new merchandise and until today was unable to return due to the covid-19 disease. As a result, I lost my job. I have no money to pay rent, my child is with my wife's family, I am sleeping here on the street. I have no sheets to cover myself, nor clothes and slippers.
I need help, I am asking all Angolans to help me please. I sleep on the street in this terrible condition. I cannot steal, please help me. If there is someone who can give me a job even like a servant to clean your house or wash your car to pay me 10.500 kwanza monthly I can do it.
I'm here near the garbage container and I take food in the trash to eat, I've been sleeping here and my sheets were stolen.
Linkages to permanent housing for people experiencing homelessness should continue to be a priority. Homeless people are one of the most vulnerable populations in the COVID-19 pandemic, yet they're largely invisible victims of the crisis.
This is the first and the only Coronavirus show in Angola where the most ordinary citizens show their brilliant talents.
The heroes of the program are the most ordinary citizens - they share with the audience their songs, poems and real stories of how the Coronavirus pandemic affected their lives.
