Armand Doucet and Elisa Guerra, as globally recognized and award-winning teachers, saw the impact of school closures on children around the world and wanted to help change the narrative and give children and families hope. They collaborated to write a children’s book “Hope, Where Are You?” illustrated by Ana Ragu (Elisa’s daughter). Numerous other volunteer educators from around the world have also joined the project to help translate the text and promote the key messages of hope.
The book is written by volunteers, illustrated by volunteers and has been translated by volunteers into over 30 different languages.
