This is what my last few days have looked like: My phone hasn’t stopped ringing since 8:00am, “What do you even have to do?” Everyone asks me. “A ton,” I say, “There are my busiest days ever:”
Planning alternative activities
Making sure that all of the participants have someone to talk to
Taking care of the participants in home isolation
Giving kids air to breath and a place to express their fears and frustrations
Giving hope
Making a routine despite the uncertainty
Providing educational tools in places I’ve never educated
Being together, even though everyone is in their own home
The “secret strength of the movement” is discovered precisely in times like these But it looks like these times will last an especially long time
And we will need to learn and teach patience as well.
