We’ve all been affected by COVID-19 pandemic. It has changed how we live, how much time we spend at home, what activities are available every day.

Are you feeling anxious about the virus? Exhausted with an uncertainty of the future? Bored with social distancing and quarantine? Do you want to learn about self-care and creative ways to stay connected? Under this new normal, engaging in something meaningful and keeping yourself virtually connected with others will help you stay healthy.  

Inspired to take action? Tell your stories about COVID-19 and its impacts on your life.

Share with us, the challenges you face, how you can cope with these challenges and what you are doing to help your friends, family and community during these challenging times. Let us know what kind of world you want to help build after the pandemic is over.

Also, nominate your friends to also take part in the campaign to help create a solidarity network .
