Once homeless himself, this man from Atlanta has placed portable sinks with soap and water on the streets so that the homeless can wash hands amidst the global coronavirus outbreak.
Terence Lester was homeless as a teenager and is now the executive director of the nonprofit Love Beyond Walls which is dedicated to helping the homeless. "All the news reports are saying wash your hands. But the homeless population often can't," Lester told CNN.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has been advising people to wash hands to keep the COVID-19 at bay which has killed over 14,000 people and left over 300,000 infected. But Lester said he found a solution with portable washbasins that are sold for RVs and camping.
We're on the frontlines making sure everyone (the whole community) has access to water and soap to keep themselves protected.These sinks have a foot pump to bring water from a 5-gallon tank to the faucet and a soap dispenser. "I was trying to think of how they will survive. How can they get through this when they can't even wash their hands? So, I decided to start there," Lester added.

Grateful for all the support! We hope people continue to love those living on the streets long after Corvus-19.
