Message for the parents Mother Aïda school because of the corona virus
As Mother Aida Foundation and Mother Aida School, we join the world in fighting Corona Virus Pandemic.
In line with the Presidential directive and Ministry of Health Guidelines, the school has been closed for 1month, Public transportation closed for 14 days.
It is a tough time because we can not give more goats to new parents, The closure of markets is making it difficult for parents to do business yet most of them get their income for supporting their families, children’s growth and education from such business incomes.
*PARENTS:*
1) Follow Guidelines issued by Ministry of Health.
2) Tell Children to wash their hands all the time.
3) Teach them to maintain social distance.
4) And above all strictly keep them at home.
*TOGETHER WE DEFEAT COVID-19*
