Wearing protective clothing, knocking on doors from door to door, and delivering materials to isolated residents at home … … After a new round of COVID-19 epidemic, El Batoul NEJJAOUI, a Moroccan girl living in Yinchuan, Ningxia, volunteered to become a community volunteer.

At the end of 2019, Baoyun, who loves China culture, came to Yinchuan, Ningxia and worked as a translator and proofreader in a local cultural company.
"When the COVID-19 epidemic broke out in 2020, I was really scared, but at that time, the Ningxia government encouraged us not to worry, provided us with masks, disinfectants and food during the isolation period, and also helped us to tutor Chinese and chat with us." Baoyun said that she is very grateful to the people of Ningxia, and now a new round of epidemic has occurred. "It’s my turn and theirs ‘ Fight side by side ’ Yes. "
During the epidemic prevention and control period, community volunteers will go to the isolated area. In order to prevent infection, Baoyun needs to wear a full set of protective clothing, which looks like the character "Dabai" in the animated film big hero 6.

The work of volunteers is complicated. "We pull residents who are isolated at home into the WeChat group. If they need any help, just tell us in the group." Baoyun said that she needs to count the nucleic acid detection information of the isolated people, buy and distribute materials and take out the garbage for the isolated residents.
In autumn and winter, the weather is cold, and the exhaled air will produce a layer of fog on the protective mask, so Baoyun should wipe it from time to time; When it snows, Baoyun’s fingers will be frozen cold, and he can only warm himself by the electric heater during the break; Because Putonghua is not very standard, when communicating with residents, sometimes one sentence has to be repeated many times.

But in Baoyun’s view, these are all worthwhile. "Many residents will say to me ‘ Thanks for your hard work ’ Or ‘ Thank you ’ It makes me feel very warm inside. " Baoyun said.
Now, Baoyun has been able to put on and take off protective clothing skillfully and is more familiar with the workflow. According to Xing Rui, a volunteer, Baoyun is a girl who is "beautiful and kind-hearted". "As a foreigner, Baoyun can participate in community epidemic prevention and control work, and I can feel her love for the people of China and China."
Baoyun said that the first book she translated was a picture book about Wuhan’s fight against the epidemic, and she also hoped to continue to contribute to the prevention and control of the epidemic in China. "Under the epidemic, there is no difference between foreigners and Chinese. We are all a family, and we should unite as one to fight the epidemic."
