Tanama Helps Honor Medical Professionals

Sipè Ewo yo ye is a song and music video created to share a message that 'Doctors and Nurses are heroes amongst us, let's protect them so they can protect us'. This campaign was launched by Rapino Foundation, based in Kenscoff, with collaboration from the Haiti Response Coalition and featuring Haitian artists BIC and Strong G as well as comedian Kako. Tanama is the inspiration for the project and the thread of the video, as she inspires a young boy, who dreams of being a superhero, to see the doctors and nurses who care for his sick grandmother as heroes and role models. The song, intended to battle stigma against doctors and nurses in the time of Covid-19 and bolster morale for the healthcare profession in Haiti, was amplified through local radio and the music video has received over a half million views online and 10,000 likes and shares.
