We used tweets to collect public discussion on organizations' activities during the specified Covid19 period. Through topic modeling, we were able to establish discussed topics in line with the organization's activities. Our research majored on tweets with matching hashtags W.H.O (world health organization) and coronavirus, covid19 or covid. We extracted five latent topics and explored the distribution or evolution of those topics over time. We were able to find people's opinions on hot topics (the period when a topic is mainly discussed); the hot topics reflect activities on the timeline of W.H.O during the specified period of the Pandemic. Our results show that the key topics are identified and characterized by specific events that happened during the specified period in our data. Our result describes the events that happened on the timeline of the W.H.O, showing the public opinion on each period a discussion is hot. It also shows how people's opinions revolve during the period. Our results will be helpful in identifying public sentiment on events, how people's opinion varies, and can also help understand different events of the organization based on the aim and objective of the event.
