Malaysian Woman With No Arms Sews PPE With Feet
A woman from Perak, Malaysia, who was born with no arms, has been helping make personal protective equipment (PPE) for frontline workers battling the coronavirus pandemic in her country, using her feet to operate a sewing machine. In footage she initially shared on Facebook, Norfarrah Syahirah Shaari is seen operating a sewing machine — folding and stitching together material. According to https://www.malaymail.com/news/life/2020/04/15/malaysian-oku-woman-with-no-hands-sews-ppe-for-frontliners-using-feet-video/1856851 Malaysian media , Shaari was sewing PPE as part of a volunteer program at Teluk Intan Community College. Shaari's Facebook post noted that several people had asked her just how she operated a sewing machine. "Many people have been asking to see how I use a sewing machine, so I'll show you my own method when sewing with my feet," she wrote in the video's Facebook post, shared on April 9, adding that she felt "really motivated," to help those battling the coronavirus on the frontline. By May 18, stats from the https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html Johns Hopkins University COVID-19 Tracker recorded a total 6,941 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Malaysia, with a total of 113 deaths.
