Shahril Hassan reflects on the recent novel coronavirus situation in Singapore & recommends a list of inspirational documentary shorts from around the globe; 7 Stories for 7 Days of the Week.

This chapter was originally published in the book titled ‘The Invisible Visible - Conversations Inspiring Hope’

The Invisible Visible is a collection of stories that is written by the youth of Singapore. It is their tribute to the redeeming power of friendship distilled from a year of interaction with migrant workers in Singapore. The purpose of the book project was to present the experience of friendship between the two communities through multiple lenses.

Amber together in partnership with Northlight school launched its Buddy Mentor program on September 25-27, 2009 at the Singapore GP Formula 1. Northlight selected 12 of their first batch of graduates from the enhanced program who would benefit the most from a mentoring program and they will be paired with 12 other young adults to begin a new lap of life together. For the first time, instead of the corporate suites traditionally being filled with the rich and famous, a table will be dedicated to starting a mentoring program with students from NorthLight School. A broadened perspective and a joyful time of making new friends formed the core of their experiences.
