Together, Even When We're Apart

My Neighbourhood's Stories of the Covid-19 Pandemic

Seven year old Amari lives with his parents and baby sister in a corner apartment building called the McCallister. It is the summer of 2020 and, along with children around the world, he is living through a global pandemic. While he knows he is lucky to be with his family, on some days, he is bored and misses his regular life. During all of the changes, Amari comes up with small acts of kindness for his neighbours. As a result, he has emerged as a guiding light of unity in his building. Even though Amari cannot do some of the activities he has always done, he connects in new ways with the people who live in his building.

It seems like everyone is finding ways to care for each other. Because Amari and his neighbours are all thinking outside of themselves, a culture of reciprocity and cooperation has emerged...Show More

Seven year old Amari lives with his parents and baby sister in a corner apartment building called the McCallister. It is the summer of 2020 and, along with children around the world, he is living through a global pandemic. While he knows he is lucky to be with his family, on some days, he is bored and misses his regular life. During all of the changes, Amari comes up with small acts of kindness for his neighbours. As a result, he has emerged as a guiding light of unity in his building. Even though Amari cannot do some of the activities he has always done, he connects in new ways with the people who live in his building.

It seems like everyone is finding ways to care for each other. Because Amari and his neighbours are all thinking outside of themselves, a culture of reciprocity and cooperation has emerged during this challenging time. Our hope is that as you read about Amari and his McCallister neighbours, you see yourself and your neighbourhood in their stories, and also that you get some new ideas about the actions you can take to bring the powerful light of unity into your corner of the planet.
