- THE CHILDREN
"I wanted to create a place the children of the world can share their own lockdown stories and experiences so that they can feel that they are heard and see that we are all in this together."

A young girl with a rare life-threatening illness has launched a global community for the children of the world to share their own lockdown experiences. Laena-Mae Turner (8), who authored a book on the pandemic in 2020, realized there was no place for children to share their own experiences, their art and showcase their unique experiences, good and bad, to the world. The young South African child has been in isolation since the start of the lockdowns in 2020 and has had no contact with other children for more than a year.
