Like many of us Avni & Arihunt witnessed the physical and emotional toll COVID pandemic has taken. It got personal as they watched one of their best friends suffer from this dreadful disease. Avni and Arihunt decided to tackle two issues in one when they chose to sew reusable masks. Sewing is creative, safe to do when quarantined and a great stress buster. Making these masks was their way of giving back to society and boosting our countries’ dwindling PPE supply. Soon Arihunt had cut and Avni had sewn over 1500 masks.
Avni formed a team of frontliners, nurses, technicians, physicians called “Masked Superheroes”. Their moto is “superheroes helping each other.” and they have enthusiastically taken on the daunting task of cutting, stitching and distributing 4500 of these amazing masks.
