Meet our COVID-19 hero, Lunga, an unassuming COVID-19 savvy character with the sole purpose of educating 7 to 9-year old children about COVID-19 prevention at school. Through the COVID-19 Lessons with Lunga campaign, our young hero delivers key messages through educational posters, stimulating activity sheets and a series of visually appealing animated videos. The objective is that youngsters will understand that heroes do not always fly overhead or shoot spider webs from their wrists. True heroes can be found anywhere, it could be the person standing behind them in the queue, sitting next to them in the taxi, or it can be the reflection they see in the mirror. The message to little ones is simple, be like Lunga and be a COVID-19 hero.
