It Takes a Village to Survive a Pandemic
We’ve all heard the well renowned African Proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child”. How true this is! It takes everyone pitching in to share the challenges, the responsibilities, the education, the mistakes and the benefits to raise the best child possible. The 2020 version of this great African Proverb should be “It takes a village to survive the pandemic”. Although the traditional image of a village has changed as we are sheltering in place and social distancing, everyone in the village has something they can contribute to making it through the pandemic.
