Merge 104.8  |  20 August 2020

Happy Thursday folks! ‘Heroes of Oman’ is back with another brand-new weekly episode.

This week, we introduce you to young Indian School Ghubra student Aayath Khanum who, along with her friends, created their very own COVID-19 awareness video to help the public understand the importance of hand-washing and wearing masks.

Click below to watch as Aayath tells us about working on this project to help educate others, and how she hopes it can help us all feel more confident in protecting ourselves and our families from COVID-19, and reduce the fear of coping with the virus in our daily lives.

To all the heroes out there working tirelessly and making our community a better place during COVID-19, we salute you!

Are you a frontline healthcare worker, volunteer, SME/entrepreneur, or community member who’s giving back to help others for the good of our nation?
