[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Lockdown blues

[ReNae Anderson]

I think this is a great idea! Everyone should join the ‎WhatsApp group, as this is exactly what the WhatsApp group is meant to be. You leave messages and people respond to it. It’s not a chat room, but it’s where you leave little voice clips and it can be lots of fun. Come on guys! Join! I know you want to! ;-)
