Fighting the Corona Virus
I am Bertha Ndoh a nurse in Tennessee, USA. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, I understand the need to wear a mask. I made this video in my dialect ” Bakundu” for our fathers and mothers back home who do not understand or speak English, on how to make a mask with their wrappers. My hope is that watching your daughter in this video speaking in the language you understand, will make you believe and know the importance of wearing a mask.
