“Good day, namaste. I am here to thank Shreyas Sresth for selfless work during COVID-19. Shreyas is doing his Masters in Computer Science in University of Queensland. He is a part of university’s outreach program preparing and delivering food packets to students in need right now,” Warner said in the video tweeted by the Australian Trade and Investment Commission.

Recently, Australian wicketkeeping great Adam Gilchrist had lauded the efforts of an Indian-born nurse working at a care home in Wollongong. Sharon Verghese, who is a student at the University of Wollongong, has been working as an aged-care worker during the lockdown enforced by the coronavirus pandemic.

“Sharon I wanted to say congratulations on your selfless act. All of Australia, all of India and more importantly, your family will be so very proud of your efforts. Congratulations and please keep it up, we are all in this together,” said Gilchrist.

The United Nurses Association (UNA) has also appreciated the work done by Sharon, adding that out of 20 lakh registered nurses at least 15 lakh are from Kerala. IANS
