    Award of Excellence
    The COVID Experience
     
    We are a family.my mother, my sisters, saleheh 12, hananeh 8 and I .in February 2020 coronavirus got epidemic in Iran .it was about 5 years ago that we used to stay at home because of my father’s death. Because of the virus everything is being closed and we are locked at our home alone with no physical connection with others and all the limitation in the society. According to the W.H.O researches, the virus has less danger for the kids, but we face directly with the virus since our mom is working in the local health center as the medical technician. In this photo series I tried to show how my sisters deal with this crisis and explore their world as kids when no one cares about kids in such situation.
