[UPDATE] We have reached our share goal in less than 24 Hours! THANK YOU for making it happen! Join us on Facebook for the handover on Wed 17 Jun 2020, 11:30am. It doesn’t stop here, do continue to share the video to spread the message!

Every share through the ‘share’ button will be matched by a donation of $5 SGD by generous sponsors. Our aim is to raise $50,000 to help migrant workers get the care and help they need and deserve. All funds raised will be channelled to HealthServe’s Social Assistance program that provides temporary social assistance in the form of meals, shelter and phone top-ups to workers facing salary and retrenchment problems.

Voices of Singapore, in collaboration with HealthServe are proud to present #AWorldTogetherSG, featuring a music video of If We Hold On Together, originally sung by Diana Ross. Titled A World Together, the video showcases the voices of the migrant worker community, accompanied by a 180-strong virtual choir from the Voices of Singapore Children’s Choir, the HealthServe team and healthcare workers.

This collaboration between non-profit organisations Voices of Singapore and HealthServe seeks to encourage inclusivity, promote kindness, harmony and gratitude between the migrant worker community and the wider community through music. Featuring children as voices of the next generation, the video weaves in conversations with the migrant community through the lens of the child and provides an opportunity for the community to share their personal stories.

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a surge in attention and concern for our migrant community, and we hope that community support will continue in the long-term. Through this video project, we hope to inspire a shift in the public’s mindset and attitude towards greater compassion, kindness, and genuine integration of foreigners into Singapore’s society.

The project is supported by the National Integration Council (Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth), Singapore Kindness Movement, SDI Academy, and Ad Planet Group.

Let us come together as #SGUnited and build #AWorldTogether.
