81 80 It’s not nice to be stuck in the house and not see my grandparents but I know we need to keep the death toll down. Lockdown hasn’t been too bad for me because I accepted it and got on with what I needed to do like schoolwork. Danila J An animal entered my life and changed my world. I faced my fears, using the computer to gain access to the outside world. A creative inspiration took over and I started to create. This animal saved my life and in my dyslexia I wrote a story and illustrated it, about and girl called Molly and a ginger cat. “Molly asks for help, her Universe responds” I might need to get it edited from dyslexia to normality. The point is, this book gave me a way to put my issues on paper and using characters I was able to pull my life out of a dark place. I became creative and started painting. My walks are covered in “lock Down Hues” I gained confidence in connecting to the outside world from a safe place. I learnt to be me again, all thanks to Ginger Snap and his incredible healing powers. Michelle Justine Briscoe, 2021 Online survey, 2020/ 2021 “Lockdown was the first experience of my life where I had to keep separate from everybody. I have kept myself busy my whole life, going to events, meeting people etc. I couldn’t understand how the time would pass now. Apart from speaking or reading messages on amobile phone I didn’t know how to do anything else. Our meetings (Ahmadiyya MuslimCommunity virtual events) began and I started off by downloading Zoomand Teams and began to use them. The benefit I had was that I began to feel myself part of everything and the feeling of being alone went away.” Razia (Translated fromUrdu)
