This Too Shall Pass Arabic mask

Designed by the socially-conscious company Profound, this mask bears the centuries-old saying “This Too Shall Pass” in Arabic (hadha aydan sa-yamurr) and English, reminding us that the COVID-19 crisis is temporary. A portion of the proceeds for each mask purchased benefits global and local charities that support refugee families, healthcare workers and factory employees who make the masks. Profound’s website states: “This pandemic is a powerful reminder of the world’s inequalities and how we are only as strong as our weakest health system.”
