In the past three weeks, the coronavirus outbreak has become a topic spoken worldwide, and everyone’s concern. Lots of news and updates are taking over the media channels as well as social media. On the 11th of February, the Coronavirus death toll rose over 1017, surpassing SARS (2003). As the Chinese New Year holiday is coming to an end, and many people return to work, the situation is expected the numbers to increase in the coming days. 

International organizations are working on campaigns of sensitivity and awareness to fight against misinformation in a generalized panic. Misinformation and lack of sensitivity have promoted the outbreak of something worse than the Coronavirus: racism and hatred towards the Chinese population. 

It is needless to say that we are against racism and discrimination; our mission is to bring the world closer together. At Shake to Win, all our team has been impacted, all Chinese and not Chinese. Either by having to be away from our loved ones or seeing our loved ones being subject to racism and discrimination.

We believe racism and discrimination is more terrifying than the Cornavirus, if it were to spread at the same rate. 

Today Shake to Win is Launching the charity campaign “#itsasmilebehindthemask.” The campaign is dedicated to recollection for funds destined Shanghai Charity Foundation (Official Website: www.scf.org.cn ) which is managed by the Shanghai Municipal Committee, the Shanghai Municipal Civil Affairs Office and the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau.
