Hi BTN. My name is Nahla and I'm eight years old. I live in Essex just outside London in England. I have been making these visors for our doctors and nurses who have been fighting the coronavirus in our hospitals. The reason why I started making these PPE masks is because I heard there was a shortage of them for the national health service. So, I asked my grandma if we could make some of them using this 3D printer and she said yes. She's been guiding me through the process ever since.

The way I make these face shields is first I make this headband bit on the 3D printer. Then I attach this acetate plastic which is meant to be the shield bit. After that I need to attach some elastic at the back to make sure that it fits on someone's head. I have made about 150 masks so far. 100 of those masks have been donated to local hospitals, care homes and doctors' surgeries. I think it's really important that medics use these visors because it creates another layer of protection between them and the patient. The doctors and nurse's reaction to my visors has been very good. They said that they were very comfortable, they felt very happy wearing them and most importantly they felt very safe in them, they've even asked me for more

LIAM, WARD MANAGER: Hi Nahla, my name's Liam and I'm a ward manager here at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London. I'm wearing the visor that you so kindly made and donated to us here. We just wanted to say a very big thank you for your very kind support and donation to us and on behalf of the whole team here in cardiology at St Bartholomew's thank you very much.

STAFF FROM QUEEN'S HOSPITAL: Thank you Nahla for our visors.

At the start I didn't have a GoFundMe page, but when people found out what I was doing they wanted to help too. So, we set up a fundraising page for me so when I run out of materials, I was able to buy more and any excess money that we have is going to go to the NHS staff. I don't think anyone should ever take anything for granted and also that this has been an opportunity for people to really realise what's important to them. The message that I'd like to give to other children that would like to help during this time is that no gesture is too small. Whether it's making PPE masks or any other contribution, every little bit helps.

私は、私達の病院でコロナウイルスと戦っている医師、看護師のためにバイザーを作ろうと思う。彼らの健康のために防護マスクを作ろうと思った。私は祖母に聞いてみた、それらのマスクを3Dプリンターで作れないかと、祖母はいいわと答えた。それから、作り方について私に教えてくれた。

最初にフェイスシールドのヘッドの部分を作った。プラスチックの材料を用いて作り、その後、後ろの部分は弾力性のプラスチックで作り誰でもフィットするように作った。これまで150個作り、100個地元の病院、療養所、診療所に寄付をした。私はこれらを医療者が使うことは、患者と自分達を防御するためにとても重要だと思った。医師、看護師の反応はよく、着け心地もよく、着けていることで安全を守れることがとても大事と話していた。

ハイ、ナラ。私はリアムでロンドンの病院でマネージャーをしている。私が着けているバイザー、君が作ってくれたバイザーはここに寄付された。私達は君にただお礼を言いたい。こんなに暖かいサポートと寄附をしてくれたこと、私の病院のチームみんなでお礼を言うよ。

バイザーをありがとう、ナラ。

私は作り始めた時にサポートの様なページは持っていなかった。ければ、人々がそれを知りサポートするページを作ってくれ、今は材料や他の物を買ったり、金銭面もフォローしてくれている。私は見返りなど求めず、これは今はとても大事で必要なことということに気づいた。今この時間を小さいことでも何か与えられることがある。保護マスクか他の小さいことでも貢献できることがある。
