Makin Banyak Seleb Dunia Ikut #SaveWithStories yang Dibuat Amy Adams dan Jennifer Garner

Dalam masa sulit seperti sekarang ini, di mana serangan virus corona merajalela di berbagai dunia, muncul sosok-sosok yang peduli sesama, baik di Indonesia atau di luar negeri. Adalah Amy Adams dan Jennifer Garner yang membuat gerakan membaca cerita #SaveWithStories untuk anak-anak yang sedang masa karantina virus yang menyebabkan Covid-19.

Tidak hanya untuk menggantikan pelajaran saja, mereka juga turut menggalang dana untuk makanan, minuman dan kebutuhan anak-anak lainnya. Karena pada umumnya sekolah-sekolah di Amerika Serikat menyediakan makan siang dan makan malam. Gerakan yang dibuat oleh dua sosok baik hati tersebut diberi nama dengan #SaveWithStories. Ini merupakan wadah untuk anak-anak bisa menonton selebriti favoritnya untuk membaca buku cerita.

Tidak hanya berdua, mereka juga bekerja sama dengan sebuah perusahaan penerbitan, media, dan pendidikan bernama Scholastic. Pembuatan gerakan tersebut ternyata juga mendorong Amy untuk membuat akun Instagram. Padahal selama ini Amy tidak pernah membuat Instagram untuk menjaga kehidupan pribadinya.

“Saya akhirnya bergabung untuk menolong anak-anak di seluruh negeri yang tengah membutuhkan bantuan serta dukungan kami selama masa yang sulit ini. Teman saya @jennifer.garner dan saya meluncurkan @SAVEWITHSTORIES…” tulisnya di caption. 

Tidak hanya bercerita melalui Instagram dan Facebook, orang-orang juga bisa memberikan sumbangan dan bantuan lewat Children and No Kid Hungry. Nantinya bantuan akan terdiri atas buku, kegiatan belajar, pemainaan, serta mainan yang digemari anak-anak kecil bagi mereka yang sekolahnya ditutup.

Tidak hanya itu saja, mereka juga akan memberikan bantuan ke bank makanan dan kelompok masyarakat yang membutuhkan.

Dengan bantuan ini mereka ingin memastikan anak-anak miskin mendapatkan makanan yang cukup. Karena tidak bisa dipungkiri ada beberapa anak yang mengandalkan sekolah untuk mendapatkan makanan yang layak.
