What am I doing now?

Earlier this month, I applied for an award worth SGD$15,000 to $20,000. (It is called "IMPART Award 2021", and the organisation behind it is "Art Outreach"). The award supports emerging artists.

The release of the results (of applications) is scheduled for end-December 2020, if not early January 2021.

So right now I am waiting for the results.

I have joined online chat-groups that relate to my interests: language and cultural exchange (the chat-group is called Mundo Lingo), and software development (DevSg), just to name a few.

In this way, I have Internet-users whom I can serve. For example, I've met a lady from Myanmar, who has early-stage breast cancer. I hope my presence in her (online) life comforts her and cheers her up.

In a video posted on LinkedIn, a CEO of a publishing company (Ms. Juliana Chan of Wildtype Media) highlighted social capital and how it differs from financial capital.

So one could say I'm gathering social capital, in my time within these online chat-groups. From a Biblical perspective, I am called to serve mankind, and to "go and make disciples of all nations". ( The gospel of Matthew, Chapter 28, Verses 19 and 20).
