A group of Grade 7 students in Surrey, B.C., have already raised thousands of dollars for COVID-19 relief in India and they're hoping to collect even more with an art auction next week. They've sold things like Pokemon cards and slime, raking in more than $3,000 so far. India's hospitals have been overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients in recent months, and the number of deaths has been catastrophic. "They all have extended family living in India, and we have had several students and teachers who've lost family within the last few months. "All the people in India are struggling with their needs and medical care," Karamvir Thiara said.
