インドがCOVID-19の第二波に襲われて以来、ミューズ・クリエイションのソーシャル・メディアを通して、これまで複数の慈善団体への寄付を募ってきた。
既述の通り、OBLFは、ミューズ・クリエイションが創設する以前から坂田が個人的に関わり、その後、夫のアルヴィンド・マルハンが役員となって支援を続けている、信頼のおける団体だ。日本からの送金が簡単にできることもあり、多くの日本人から振り込みがあったと感謝のメッセージを受け取っている。
COVID-19感染者センター２カ所を設置し、貧困地域における多くの感染者を救済していることはすでに記したが、先日からはワクチン設置会場も稼働している。ここ数日の間に、OBLFのFacebookで公開シェアされてきた情報を、以下に転載する。

Incredible teams create incredible impact. We all know this, but each time we see it in practice, it is a wonderfully satisfying and warm feeling all over again.
Over the last two months, I have had the benefit of seeing and experiencing the best of human spirit and endeavour rising up to meet the soul-crushing challenge posed by the Covid crisis.
Over the last two days it was on display again - this time with our own team of community teachers and an extended team of volunteers who came together to plan and execute the vaccination drive and camp for the economically disadvantaged. This was a team that came together for no specific gain - other than for the profound impact they knew they will have on the community if they execute this project well. From project planning to helping load vaccines, to manning registrations, to house-keeping, to crowd control - there was nothing that was beyond this team.
A ‘Thank You’ seems insufficient - but is the least that can be said. Here’s to an amazing team that can make an Herculean effort seem simple. You are an incredible team, Team OBLF!

We ran our first ever free vaccination camp for the economically disadvantaged today. Planned to cover 250 today. Ended up with 344. Incredible level of planning & execution, to avoid crowding, and the rush. It mostly went according to plan; there were still disappointed people who had to be turned back because our stock for today ran out; Tomorrow will be another day, with an additional 350+. But proud to have made this possible working together with EO for Bangalore and Narayana Health. Great teams working together to make a strong impact on the ground.
With today's camp ONE Billion Literates Foundation is also happy to have activated yet another vector of its strategy to address the covid health crisis.
And by the way, we also opened our third covid care isolation centre yesteRday along with our partner Enablers United...this is in an interior rural village and will serve the growing number of infections in the rural interiors.

Over the past few days, we have started working with ASHA health workers and Panchayat task force members, who are at the frontline of the fight against the pandemic. We have been providing them with high quality N95 masks, sterile gloves, face shields, sanitisers, caps to bear the summer heat, as they work tirelessly, with most of them doing multiple door to door visits every day, putting themselves and their loved ones at risk.
Our team has also been doing a very targeted distribution of ration kits to highly marginalised communities who have been hit hardest. It is heart breaking to see the predicament the people find themselves in, with nobody to turn to for help.
Kudos to our team members, Mahesh and Anthony, and a big big thank you to our frontline team and cadre of teachers who have been going out every single day to make this happen!
We’d also like to express our gratitude to EO Bangalore for providing the ration kits.
