Africa Educates Her Campaign. Bonus. Interview with teachers

 The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and presents an unprecedented challenge to education, public health, food systems and the world of work.

Our today's special guest is Domingas D'Carvalho, she is a teacher and at the same time a student. Today she will share with us how covid-19 has affected her social life.


Greetings!
My name is Domingas, I'm here to talk about how the coronavirus pandemic affected me!

Honestly, covid - 19 has affected me negatively. In the field of studies, I always used to go to school but we had to stop studying suddenly.

In the social context, I used to catch taxi at the bust stop easily, but now it's difficult because taxi drivers take small numbers of passengers, the bus stops are crowded with people without keeping any social distancing and also the transport stops circulating very early, before the pandemic they circulated until midnight.

In addition, not all taxi drivers comply with biosecurity rules, collectors do not use masks, drivers do not use masks and many of them do not use it correctly.

In the work context, I am a collaborator teacher and covid-19 affected me a lot in this area. In this time of the pandemic I am not receiving any income, because students in primary education will not return to school this year and I am a primary school teacher.

Therefore, until today, students from the fifth grade to preschool children have not returned to school and we, the teachers are out of wages.



After sharing with us the challenges she faces during the pandemic, Domingas decided to read a beautiful poem for us.

In the middle of this pandemic, everything was isolated
Although it was the joy
But fear prevailed
In these pandemic times
Hugs are a danger
It is better to prevent ourselves
Than hurt our friends
The coronavirus has shaken
Our whole society
Very fast spread
And reached all ages
