Every kid deserves science

Dear friends and supporters,

We really hope and pray that you and your loved ones are healthy and safe!

In less than a month, our lives were upset by the global COVID-19 pandemic that came so shockingly unprecedented by its scale and impact… Hectic schedules, meticulously organized routines and well-laid strategic plans were swept away, leaving people, businesses and countries in turmoil of uncertainty and fear.

In this situation, we are not going to present you yet another positive progress report pointing out the number of children who participated in our programs thanks to your generous donations. We just have no activities to communicate… There have been two “flu vacations” and an emergency Coronavirus situation declared since our last letter to you.

Muzeiko has been closed for visitors since March 9^th. Currently, members of our team live stream from the “childless” Muzeiko science and art shows on Facebook every afternoon (Mon – Fri). The new temporary exhibition with live reptiles and insects can be seen only online.

However, we still would like to reach out to you to report the good news of hope.

1. There have been a number of donations for our cause to provide access to science for every child since the COVID-19 lockdown. And we want to THANK YOU for your continuing support! It is even more valuable, because we can realize that many people and organizations, such as Muzeiko, are struggling to survive, with no possibility to generate revenues.
2. The new situation presented  inexorable evidence of the importance of health literacy and science progress. We live in an interconnected and interdependent world and everyone’s choices and behaviors matter. That is why our societies cannot afford to leave anyone behind. The urgent challenges we face, require people with education and competences to apply learning to real-life problems and create effective solutions.
3. The current experience of dramatic loss of our comfortable lifestyles and modus operandi made us rethink our values and priorities, and appreciate what we have… It is a powerful lesson of solidarity, testing the humanity of hearts and minds. We cannot change the past, but we can work together for a better future.

Let’s walk out of this stronger, wiser and more caring for each other!

With love and warmth,

Muzeiko’s team
