"In times like these, it's easy to panic and feel unrest, but with our caring and vigilant government we are in the best care system possible, which leaves me as an artist to really delve and practice my art form at home, when we have less access to resources we are pushed to be even more creative. It's times like these where art will reach new heights and once this is over, the amount of beautiful work captured will be a testament to the unification of our world. "
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank the UAE government for everything it has done to ensure the safety and wellbeing for myself and my family."
"These troubling times have been very concerning, but there is a growing sense of comfort, ease and confidence in our government's transparency and measures undertaken, and all the online initiatives it has implemented to ensure that our lives and our children's education can continue."
"Looking back 100 days to when it all began, the world as we know it has changed in ways most of us couldn't anticipate. With this change came fear, anxiety and doubt, but also with this change came love, care, unity, compassion and the appreciation of one's wellbeing and that of others."
"In the most trying times of our life, we see our front liners serving without question, people around helping and contributing in any way they can, loved ones staying at home being with families reassuring one another- expressions of concern and love. These are glimmers of hope, giving us glimpses of wonderful expectations beyond the horizon for more enriched tomorrows."
"Your money or your social status means nothing to the virus. This is a wake up call to every single one of us to introspect and learn to live with the basics. These are tough times but they have taught us what years of education cannot. There is hope and there is a future. We just have to re-invent it in the right way."
"We are hopeful and see the light at the end of the tunnel , we are really proud and blessed to have our great leaderships and quality healthcare in our residing country UAE and home country India. No need to panic, only an extra measure of safety, and stay at home."
"We always remain confident and optimistic to handle any emergencies with positive outcome. We will fight and win over Covid-19."
"The best thing we can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine but just breathe and have faith. The best view comes after the hardest climb. Every day has a new beginning, new blessings and new hope. Stay Positive! Stay strong! Stay safe!"
"Today is not for crying it's for hoping. In this difficult time let us only stay at home with our family and count this as a chance to plan and think for the future. Let's play, draw, dance, sing and laugh as maybe one day we will see these times as a treasure. Let us not forget the needy and vulnerable people if you can transfer this hope for real to them."
"During the last 100 days, I've experienced what family truly is. This time has allowed me to learn more about myself, my spouse and my children. Even though there is a lot of work to do and no escaping, we have gotten so much closer as a family. I hope everyone has a chance to gain a better understanding of themselves and the closest people around them. Let us come out of this better people to ourselves and to others."
