3/24/2020 0 Comments Health Care HeroesToday we launched the first stage in our Campaign of Kindness for Health Care Workers. The Campaign provides an online Health Care Hero Award for community members to share with family and friends who are health care workers. We ask people not to send these directly to health services - because it will increase their workload. More information on our webpage: https://www.thekindnesspandemic.org/health-care-workers.html
3/21/2020 0 Comments Launching #TheKindnessPandemicOne week ago today I launched a Campaign called #TheKindnessPandemic to promote acts of kindness at a time when COVID19 was hitting hard in Australia. Our Facebook Group has grown to over 140,000 members and kindness is spreading. Kindness wont make the virus go away - but it may change our experience of it. It is giving people hope and connection and something to anchor. Thank you for supporting this important Campaign. Screen shots below from coverage on the Today Show.
