Children across the globe have experienced the COVID-19 pandemic - and remediation efforts such as school closures, community lockdowns, and social distancing - in vastly different ways. These video diaries from UNICEF feature children from seven countries - South Africa, India, Yemen, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the U.S., Iraq, and Italy - sharing their hopes, fears, challenges, and joys during the early stages of the pandemic. For example, Saira, a 6-year-old from India, shares how she keeps busy with arts and crafts, birdwatching, and music. Muna, a 10-year-old from Yemen, shares the experience of living through the pandemic in a refugee camp. Visitors can find these and other video diaries embedded in the page linked above. For further viewing, users can click on "Stay Home Diaries playlist" at the bottom of the page to be taken to a YouTube playlist, which features even more video diaries and links to related content from UNICEF.
