DISCOVER YOUR REASONSÂ TO BE HAPPY
By: Rashida Saherwala and Sejal Sarda
Coronavirus. Social distancing. Self-isolation. We have all heard of these terms a multitude of times these past few months and as important as it is to follow these guidelines, we have begun to lose hope, positivity and most significantly a sense of unity. As young individuals, we are constantly trying to find new ways to enjoy ourselves which made us realise the only way to truly experience joy is to share it with others. Therefore we have crafted a simple challenge which we hope to be enriching not only for yourselves but to others around you. Let’s bring some happiness back!
WHAT IS THE CHALLENGE?
Quite simply it is your Reasons to be Happy. The best way to express this is through your creations. Anything that motivates you, inspires you or just makes you yourself. It can be something you just started, something you have been doing for a really long time or a thank you message for everyone supporting the community currently.
1.We want you to take a picture or video of your creation. Here are a few examples for guidance:
Writing a song/ singing
Writing a poem
art
Making jewellery
baking
sculpting
Dancing
2.Then send it to our email reasonstobehappy20@gmail.com with your favourite quote underneath the image/video which relates to your creation.
3.We will then post it on this website and on our Instagram page which is @reasonstobehappy2020 so please do follow it.
4.We will select the Top 20 creations and make a collage of it which will then be sent to a selected hospital.
5.We want everyone to embrace their individual talents and passion by participating in this challenge. Good luck!
*Make sure you do this at home.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Our main goal is to share and spread positivity as well as unite our community in this difficult time. We want to collaboratively spread hope and appreciation for the courageous doctors, and staff working relentlessly as well the patients who are fighting their own battle. We believe this is the most effective way to reach our goal without compromising anyone’s safety.
