At a time when the world needs happiness and hope, the ‘We Are One. Save lives from Covid-19’ movement has been launched and Guyana is among the over 200 countries and territories that have collaborated virtually to share inspirational messages.
A video posted to the movement’s website showed photos of 3,700 persons holding posters with positive messages for viewers. Guyanese makeup artist Susan Ibrahim was one of them.
In explaining why the campaign was started, the movement’s website (https://www.weareone.social/) states that while governments and medical personnel, among others, have fought earnestly in handling and preventing COVID-19, at the same time, the public is being “bombarded” by news about the various effects as a result of the pandemic. “Whether it be the number of deaths, the decline of the economy, the high unemployment rate, and a lot more. Whether or not the world is getting worse, the nature of negative news will make us believe that it is,” it states.
