Stories of Hope: Not all is gloom
South Africa is
standing together to fight COVID-19. Amidst proliferating misinformation and
increasing numbers of new COVID-19 cases, Centre for Communication Impact (CCI)
is partnering with local media to bring hope to the communities through
inspirational stories from front line workers and those that have recovered
from COVID-19. These hopeful stories will present a snapshot of what positive
acts of love for the country our frontline workers do every day and bring to
life the ways in which people are supporting each other as well as how
individuals find new ways of making their lives better through these
challenging time. So: Do you live or work in the Eastern Cape or
Western Cape
1. Are you an educator (teacher) going
the extra mile to ensure that your students continue to learn using methods
that respect social distancing?
2. Are you a health-worker, who wakes
up each day and goes to work a ta hospital? Tell us about how you bring smiles
to your 3. patients, stay positive and passionate during these difficult times.
3. Are you in the frontline of delivering essential
supplies as an employee, who has been working day and night since Level
Five? Talk to us.
4. If you work as a law enforcement official,
(police, military etc.), working to enforce the regulations as published by
Government we would like to hear from you.
5. Finally, we would like to hear stories from
those of you that have recovered from COVID-19. Sharing your story
will give many South Africans hope. What support structure did you have as you
faced Covid-19? What message do you have for the rest of South Africans on
staying positive following a positive COVID-19 diagnosis?
If you fall
under one of the five (5) categories above, we would love to hear from you. One
story per category will be selected as the winning story for a prize per
province.
