BBC 最近特别报道了在新冠疫情下华裔的困境以及他们为突破困境所做的努力。文中采访了莱克星顿华协(CAAL)主席王华，向大众展示了以他们为代表的华裔在疫情中的种种表现，相关新闻报道请在浏览器打开以下链接：

报道摘要：王华形容，华人团体的凝聚是铸造“盾与箭：的过程。“盾”意味着平时在社区深耕，当实力足够强大，一旦利益受到侵害，则“亮剑”为自己发声。

CAAL Covid-19 Relief project leader: Wu, Leeying

To protect the most vulnerable groups and our medical workers, Chinese American Association of Lexington (CAAL) reached out to Chinese suppliers of personal protection equipment (PPE) and acquired disposable masks through generous donations from Lexington residents. The purchased masks were donated to nursing homes and frontline medical and health organizations.

Since early March, the volunteers in CAAL have spent their days and nights on this project with very limited resources. From collecting demand information from hospitals, nursing homes, families in need, to sorting out suppliers’ and product information, from screening the qualified PPEs suppliers from pretenders to matching the products with the local hospitals’ requirements,  from fundraising to order management and logistic coordination, not mention the complicated inventory data management. With limited man power, CAAL team delivered more than 91,180 masks to 42 hospitals and clinics, 25 nursing homes and other frontline organizations.
