we want to share some cheerful things

the mahabis team is working from home, missing the friendship, laughter and support we get from each other in the office. we talk everyday, all day, but it’s not quite the same.

there are some upsides of course, like Becci’s nan learning how to FaceTime.

but the uncertainty isn’t pleasant for anyone. so rather than talk to you about slippers today (and we love talking about them), we want to share stories of joy, happiness, and how people are spending their time well around the world.

we’ve been using our digital channels to share cheerful things this week and below you’ll find some of our favourites. because when we step back we can see how lucky we are.
