COVID-19 Info Pack For Kids By Bingwa Edubox

COVID-19 Info Pack For Kids By Bingwa EduboxI take this opportunity to extend my appreciation to all of you for the contribution towards reverting the spread of the corona virus. Referring to a report “Keeping children safe in Uganda Covid-19 Response” by Joining Forces Coalition, it was noted that there is lack of appropriate communication to children. The report further recommended for the dissemination of child-friendly inclusive messaging through creative ways. Responding to the above, Bingwa Media in partnership with Child Africa International under the guidance of the National Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC) created an educative information pack to help children cope with COVID-19 scourge.The pack is a fun-filled, culturally appropriate, child-friendly medium for teaching children on how to stay safe from the corona virus. Using story telling as a creative tool for exploring difficult topics, Bingwa Media came up with a version of Bingwa Edubox package that contains the following; n Storybook “Bingwa and the COVID heroes” n Activity book with Caregivers Guide. n Coloured pencils n DIY Guide for making a fabric face mask at home n Free branded face mask “Bingwa and the Covid heroes” is a storybook helping children understand COVID-19 as well as encouraging them to protect themselves and others.
