| <h3>What am I doing now?
 | |
| </h3>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>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.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>The release of the results (of applications) is scheduled for
 | |
| end-December 2020, if not early January 2021.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>So right now I am waiting for the results.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>I have joined online chat-groups that relate to my interests: language and cultural
 | |
| exchange (the chat-group is called 
 | |
| <a href="https://t.me/ML_Singapore">Mundo Lingo</a>), and software development 
 | |
| (<a href="https://t.me/joinchat/AMjNsFh9UGJ9v56sF4KPjg">DevSg</a>), just
 | |
| to name a few.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>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.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>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.
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p>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". (
 | |
| <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2028%3A19-20&version=NIV">
 | |
| The gospel of Matthew, Chapter 28, Verses 19 and 20</a>).
