In order to spread hugs and positivity online, Grade 4 students from Indahag Elementary School wrote letters of encouragement for our front liners amidst  COVID-19.

This happened when public school teacher Sheena Yonson was looking for an alternative school activity that her pupils can participate in. She wanted them to understand the current situation and at the same time appreciate the people who are working hard in order for them to stay home.

Teacher Sheena texted parents of the pupils and asked them to write letters of encouragement for health workers, uniformed personnel and vendors. They then needed to take a photo and send it to her via social media. She explained that she was overwhelmed by the positive responses of the parents and the kids.

One letter wrote “ Dear to all Frontliners, Maraming Salamat po sa inyong katapatan at sakripisyo labanan ang COVID-19. Saludo po ako sa inyong lahat. Love u all.”

A mother of her students, who is currently working as a police officer, reached out to Sheena to thank her for the kind gesture.

She expressed that during these times of crisis, family members should understand the needs and the importance of a child. Their voices and views are important too.

Due to COVID-19 outbreak in the country, people in the field of healthcare have been in the frontline battling this epedemic.
