Around 1,800 foreigners in the city of Suzhou, east the Chinese mainland's Jiangsu Province, volunteered to assist those in self-isolation within their residential communities during the coronavirus outbreak. Among them are American couple Jeffrey Stephen Sootheran and Bethany Sarah Sootheran, and Park Jung-min from South Korea, whose stories highlight the power of community and restore faith in humanity.
These volunteers played a crucial role in ensuring that residents received essential supplies and support while adhering to safety measures. Their selfless actions not only helped alleviate the challenges faced by those in isolation but also fostered a sense of global solidarity in the face of a common crisis.
As the pandemic continues to impact communities worldwide, stories like these serve as a reminder of the positive impact that individuals from diverse backgrounds can have when they come together to support one another.
