With the lockdown approaching a newer, more relaxed phase, the Indian Student Association Delft (ISA) reflected on and realised that it is important to consider how, why and thanks to whom these measures are being relaxed.


‘Not all heroes wear capes’


Thus, the ISA initiated the Support Matters project, thanking those working on the frontlines during the Covid-19 outbreak. “Support Matters’ aim is to get all TU Delft students and staff to utilise their social impact by thanking healthcare workers and expressing words of encouragement,” says board member Gopal Kandiyoor (external affairs). “Our heroes do not wear capes, but are individuals who are working day and night to make sure those affected are given the right care.”

To get all the messages to the recipients, ISA is working together with the Reinier de Graaf Hospital in Delft. Kandiyoor: “A collection of all the written words will be turned into a banner that will be placed across the staff entrance to the hospital so that healthcare workers read the messages upon entering and exiting.”
