In other exciting news...the next person featured in my 'In Isolation with' blog series is South African comedian and radio presenter, Dalin Oliver.

Find out what keeps him going in the midst of isolation life.

About this series...

As we tackle the Covid-19 Pandemic in 2020, I’m reminded that we are all in this together. During this series ‘In Isolation with’, I take a peek into the lives of wonderful humans across the globe to see what connects us all in isolation; what keeps us sane, what gives us hope and what we look forward to again post-Covid. As we socially distance physically, may we continue to uplift one another and connect more deeply in other ways.

Shiree creates a wonderful space for learning including lots of messy play ( which Josh loves) and various spaces for different activities ranging from painting to outdoor obstacles, inside ring time, 'finding the plastic insects in jelly' and lots of sensory fun. He has definitely find his tribe here :)
