Let’s focus, amidst many things, on the impact the pandemic has on society – particularly children – and the opportunity we have to invest in advancing public health.
My mind has been dominated by the precipitous effect the pandemic will have on vulnerable children: children whose lives are dictated by the daily wages of their parents. Alongside the economic stimulus packages for business and industry, can we also focus on spreading the social safety net for the most vulnerable amongst us?
Let’s re-imagine ‘care’ during the COVID-19 pandemic. Faith helps to meet the challenges we are currently experiencing; and we must share this with our children, youth and the community. Standing together during these difficult times is a choice we make!
