HAPPY NEW YEAR
In a normal year, we would be reflecting upon and giving thanks for the standout moments of the previous twelve months. We would highlight the various events and social media mentions that help champion the Madlug cause to act on behalf of children moving through the care system. However, 2020 has been, as we all know only too well, far from a normal year.
MADLUG SAY HEJ! TO IKEA

PRODUCT REVIEW | The Madlug Activity Book
Many among us find it difficult to speak effectively about our current shared situation. Words are truly insufficient to convey how surreal, unsettling and at times deeply frightening our world became in a very short time. While we are in the eye of this storm, we will not be able to grasp the magnitude of this pandemic and the countless ways in which it will consequently shape societies, economies, industries, families… so many institutions the world over will be reeling from this experience for years and perhaps decades to come. While we cannot quite measure the scale of how it will shape our world there is the palpable sensation that the ground beneath our feet is shifting - as if we are standing on an ice floe that is breaking up, or a bridge that is collapsing, and as we fall we cannot tell how deep the chasm is below.
