“As a mother this home-schooling experience has been so heart-warming and seeing my little girl's act of kindness has been gloriously inspiring for me. She had so many complaints for me that she couldn't play all day even during lockdown but when I explained the purpose of my work why I am busy making PPE & masks, she not just seemed understood but wanted to give hands to me. A new Ameya immersed with such inborn skill with a few minutes of guidance she started sewing effortlessly. My eyes couldn't believe it so I started recording her video. A rather beautiful cohesive approach of play and sharing compassion for the people & nation, a mother, daughter & father team started”.

Tiny Hands

The power of kindness is unique and has no age boundaries. Eco designer Sanyukta Shrestha’s daughter, Ameya, might only be a 5-year old but she brings a strong message of hope and positivity that has truly inspired all of us. This little girl Ameya Shrestha, is devoting time during lockdown to protect our precious heroes by sewing rainbow masks.

Designer, Sanyukta Shrestha and her husband have creatively involved her 5 year-old daughter to the mask making project to help others and inspire other families while staying together at home.


During difficult times, we all step back and see the bigger picture. Our children bring hope and light to all of us and we hope that Ameya's effort will bring a smile to your face and inspire you to stay safe and be creative.
We are all a big community, and by staying united and being kind to each other, we can do miracles.

Conquering Covid


The Friends of Sandroyd have been unable to run their usual fundraising initiatives for Charity but as part of their remote learning programme they have encouraged children to think about their own fundraising initiatives.  

Oriana (Yr6) has designed the 100% cotton t-shirt below, which is available to order direct from the printer in all child and adult sizes  https://state-side.co.uk/products/nhs-fundraiser-t-shirt. The average profit across sizes is £4 per shirt, and the total will be collated and forwarded to the NHS Charities National Covid-19 Urgent Appeal which was launched to support NHS staff, volunteers and patients impacted by Covid-19 across the country. 

Their target is to raise more than £1000 (that’s at least 250 t-shirts but we’d like to go national with this!)  Oriana decided on a t-shirt because anyone can buy it and feel they have helped Conquer Covid in doing so.  

Oriana asks you to consider purchasing a t-shirt for you or members of your family, and raising awareness of this initiative by sending the link to your friends, to colleagues and asking your own schools to participate. We have deliberately NOT put the name of Oriana’s school on it so it can be adopted by any body! 

If you do order PLEASE send a photo of you wearing the t-shirt to the school so they can add it to the instagram page noted on the back of the t-shirt     @nhs.fundraiser or tag #ConquerCovid.  It would be great to show what can be achieved when everyone contributes a little bit, so together let’s help Conquer Covid!

(Please note orders are direct with, and mailed to you by, the small family printers selected. The supply chain can be a bit bumpy at the moment so you will receive your order between 2days and 2 weeks depending on volume of orders.)

WHAT amazing achievements from some amazingly talented and tenacious children and parents!

Please share far and wide to help these causes and stories…. Many thanks Country Child
