4.6.20...During this pandemic, some people feel stressed and uncertain. It’s understandable to feel anxious, a little bit lost, and very frustrated about not being able to control the situation. However, you can make a difference to how you cope with it, and you can make a difference to how other people are feeling too. The Making a Difference from Home activity pack will help you do just that. In it, you’ll be supported to choose and carry out a mini project to help other people at this time. These people may be your friends and family, or your local community, and what you do might just cause a ripple effect that makes bigger differences to our world in the fullness of time.
