For the past year, the pandemic has taught us many lessons, including how little control we have over our lives. What helped us grow through it has been our ability to adapt to the changing environment. While covid-19 is improving in some countries, unfortunately, the struggle worsens in others. What remains constant is the strength of people’s ability to come together and try to lift each other up. This week’s stories highlight the spirit of those who rise to meet life’s challenges and provide hope to others during hard times. –Guri
