About the campaign to raise awareness about the importance of mental health, Sonya stated: “School years are some of the best in life, but today the world is facing a global education crisis and disruptions due to the pandemic. Yet, for many children education can be a chance for a better life. This is why I join UNICEF in calling for schools to remain open and to ensure safe in person learning.”
