Friends of Cancer Patients (FOCP), a UAE-based civil society organisation, has launched a social media drive to unite people virtually to share inspiring stories, and celebrate kinship and solidarity as we go through a challenging period in varying forms of lockdown due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Calling on people to share personal experiences of the various activities they are pursuing during this stay-at-home period to keep themselves gainfully occupied, and ways in which they are positively impacting lives of others from a distance, FOCP has offered its social platforms @focpuae, for the telling of everyday stories with hashtags #StayHomeTouchLives and #StayHomeChampion that will inspire and bring a smile to people’s faces.

Since the campaign’s launch on April 5, FOCP’s socials on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook have already started receiving active reflections of stay home champions who are taking up unique pursuits within the confines of their homes to reach out to their loved ones or make a positive difference.

The campaign ends on May 31, 2020.
