We received this video link from a fellow-Anak Bangsa Malaysia.

 

It's a presentation by social artist, Lily Yeh and her work with Barefoot Artists, a non-profit arts organisation which "aims to train and empower local residents, organize communities, and take action for a more compassionate, just and sustainable (better) future". But mission statements are just that - statements.


It's an amazing story which you just have to watch and be inspired. We were blown away.




Ready to stand?

 

NOTE:

You can read more about Barefoot Artists here.

 

We have much to learn and to reconcile. SABM will be hosting a special forum on the United Nations Year of Reconciliation on Saturday, Dec 5. Among the topics discussed will be urban poverty, and also a movie-cum-presentation by the group Nur Damai based on the documentary The Imam and the Pastor. You can view the details here. Do come.


P.S. Much thanks to Padmini Solomon for the video link.
