Empathy in a Time of Crisis – 2
As we near the end of our second week in lockdown, and as the Covid -19 crisis continues to unfold here in the UK and across the world, at Empathy Action we have been keeping ourselves busy, while remaining socially distant.
Empathy in a Time of Crisis
At Empathy Action, we are continuing to choose empathy and employ Radical Kindness in whatever way we can, even if it appears to be more limited in its scope. And – day by day – we are appreciating what we have, thinking constantly of our friends further away.
