- Andrea Echeverria; Tatiana Belenkaya
- Description
- Andrea Echeverria discusses the impact of COVID on her life. She shares that she has started teaching online, and that her four-year-old son has stopped going to school. This means that she can spend more time with him, and is surviving thanks to increased interactions with family and friends in Chile and Columbia. She has also been playing games online for the first time, and meditating everyday. Thinking about new stories and research projects, and looking for a new home, has also kept her going. Andrea reflects on how this crisis has led her to realize how fragile economic and social structures are, and how everything is so connected right now.

- Description
- Humanities Truck director Dan Kerr reflects on the impact of COVID, both personally, for the Truck operations, and as a country. He discusses how the Truck has been shut down since March, and shares his own challenges in working from home doing distance learning and homeschooling his daughter. Dan does see some positive things happening, though, such as spending more time together as a family and communicating more with friends. He hopes that the pandemic can be an opportunity for everyone to reflect and act on the "severe economic inequalities" that are making citizens unhealthy, including struggling for economic justice and universal healthcare. He ends by calling upon others to make videos for the Connected Perspective Projects to "use this moment to start thinking about how we can make this world a better place." This video is part of the Humanities Truck's From Me To You: A Covid-19 Oral History Project. https://humanitiestruck.com/frommetoyou/
