description: Rachael Jeffers, who works at the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities, took the organization's new mask for a #lilrhody test run along Narragansett Bay with her sidekick Kensi (dog in background). These custom masks, which read "Democracy Demands Wisdom and Vision" were created by the Humanities Council for their friends, supporters, and staff. The quote is from the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act of 1965 (championed by the late RI Senator Claiborne Pell) which reads: "An advanced civilization must not limit its efforts to science and technology alone, but must give full value and support to the other great branches of scholarly and cultural activity in order to achieve a better understanding of the past, a better analysis of the present, and a better view of the future. (4) Democracy demands wisdom and vision in its citizens. It must therefore foster and support a form of education, and access to the arts and the humanities, designed to make people of all backgrounds and wherever located masters of their technology and not its unthinking servants."

Sobrevivi COVID-19
description: Hola! Mi nombre es Ana Herrera. Tengo 44 años de edad con una bella familia de 3 hijos y una nietecita de 3 añitos; tengo un diagnostico de cancer de ceno el cual me descubrieron en junio del 2019. A principio de abril 2020 toda mi familia y yo nos contagiamos con el covid 19. Fue una experiencia bastante fuerte ver a mis dos pequeños hijos con fiebres bastante alta, con dificultad para respirar tener que ayudarlos para que se pudieran poner de pie, y en lo personal apenas tenia 4 meses de ver terminado mi tratamiento de radiaciones por lo del cancer. Ahora solo podemos darle gracias a Dios porque nos guardo, nos fortalecio y Él obro atravez de los remedios caseros que tomamos, nos haciamos los enjuagues de vinagre de manzana con agua tibia tomabamos limonada caliente con bicarbonato y todo el dia tomabamos mucho tés. En lo economico nos ha afectado muchisimo pero siempre han habido personas dispuestas ayudar en Rhode Island hay organizaciones e iglesias que de una o de otra manera nos tienden la mano para vendesirnos. Aunque ya nada vuelve hacer igual en nuestra salud después de ver pasado por dicha experiencia, nos quedan muchos malestares que antes de eso no sentiamos pero bueno es Dios que nos continua fortalesiendo.
