At Global Heritage Fund, we champion cultural heritage as a source of courage, inspiration, and livelihoods. The outbreak of Coronavirus is a dire reminder that we must act together to protect the very human history that unites and sustains us.
We are closely monitoring the situation and its impacts around the world. Many of the communities we work with are in remote areas, untouched so far by the pandemic’s reach. Despite their current isolation, these men and women are still suffering from interrupted livelihoods and economic uncertainty as the world responds to this unprecedented situation.
We are all in this together. Recovery will depend on concerted action, and as we look to the future, cultural heritage can provide strong footing for community resilience and recovery. We cannot allow our efforts to wane. As the situation develops, we will count on your continued generosity to carry on their vital work protecting cultural heritage.
Our office in San Francisco is temporarily closed and the team is working from home. Travel to our sites has been suspended, and our project managers are using digital means to stay connected. We all remain available by email and phone. Please visit our website for news and to learn more about our work: www.globalheritagefund.org.
These are hard circumstances, and we must continue moving forward. We appreciate all that you do to make a difference in these uncertain times.
