The past year was a whirlwind of mental and emotional trauma, insecurities, confusion, isolation, and all such dreadful things. Multiply it by multitudes to maybe understand a fraction of what every at-risk child across the world has dealt with.
Loss of lives and livelihoods are tangible repercussions of COVID-19 but it took the pandemic for everyone to wake up to the cataclysm of neglecting children’s mental well-being. We knew it had to be battled with the most powerful tool we have always used – Play.
Play must never stop. It didn’t and never will.
