Inspired by the young people of China and Italy who began sharing messages of hope  as the Covid-19 pandemic took hold in their homelands, WhichSchoolAdvisor.com begin sharing special versions of the song, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", by students across the world, who also wanted to raise their voices in hope, and solidarity... 

Here, Aya, a student at Repton Abu Dhabi in the UAE sings "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", the classic song in her native French language. Aya joins Emily of Kings' Al Barsha and Ms Suzanna Eggar of Fairgreen International School who both sang the song in English.

All over the world, children and young people have united under the message ‘Keep up the Fight’. For children in China, where the movement originated, the message is “Jiayou”.

Today, all around Italy, the words “andra tutto bene” (all will be well) now accompany beautiful rainbow drawings made by children to brighten their locked down neighbourhoods, and to give hope to anyone who sees them. We want to share the UAEs' messages of light and hope too...

Jiayou. Andra tutto bene. Keep up the fight.

We would love to hear this popular song sung in your mother tongue. If your child would like to share their own version of the "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" song, please email [email protected].

Please enjoy this moment of musical hope, positivity and worldwide connection from Aya and all of the WhichSchoolAdvisor.com team.

Thank you Aya, for your song...
