Once upon a time, there was an old man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach every morning before he began his work. Early one morning, he was walking along the shore after a big storm had passed and found the vast beach littered with starfish as far as the eye could see, stretching in both directions. Off in the distance, the old man noticed a small boy approaching. As the boy walked, he paused every so often and as he grew closer, the man could see that he was occasionally bending down to pick up an object and throw it into the sea. The boy came closer still and the man called out, "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you're doing?" The young boy paused, looked up. and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean. The tide has washed them up onto the beach and they can't return to the sea by themselves, "the youth replied. "When the sun gets high, they will die, unless I throw them back into the water." The old man replied, "But there must be tens of thousands of starfish on this beach. I'm afraid you won't really be able to make much of a difference." The boy bent down, picked up yet another starfish and threw it as far as he could into the ocean. Then he turned, smiled and said, "It made a difference to that one!"

It was a moment that marked a deep shift—where love, identity, and purpose came together in a way words could hardly describe. For Amanda, hearing "Mama" for the first time was not just a milestone in motherhood, but a powerful reminder of the bonds we create and the meaning we find through nurturing and connection.

Through daily self-care rituals such as mindfulness, art-making, journaling, and setting healthy boundaries, Amanda ensures she stays grounded and resilient amid the challenges of her work. Equally important is her optimistic mindset. Amanda chooses to see challenges as opportunities for growth and believes in the power of hope, compassion, and purpose-driven action. This balance of inner care and outward positivity enables her to show up fully for her clients, her team, her family, and her mission. It is this philosophy, rooted in self-awareness and empowered living, that continues to fuel her success and sustain her passion for creating meaningful impact through art  Website :  www.artforgood.sg Primary Social Network : https://www.instagram.com/amandachenlee

19 and 28 May, 2025 At Art for Good , we believe that kindness can start small — with little hands, little voices, and little hearts. That belief came to life in our recent Little Hearts, Big Kindness preschool art excursions, where K1 and K2 children from Star Learners Preschool (Pasir Ris) visited our inclusive art studio on 19 and 28 May 2025 . This specially curated 1.5-hour program was more than just an art session — it was a joyful, educational journey designed to nurture empathy, celebrate diversity, and build the foundation for inclusion from an early age. 💖 A Program Designed to Grow Big Hearts During their visit, the children took part in a series of engaging, age-appropriate activities that blended creativity with social awareness: Created kindness-inspired artwork that reflected what it means to care, share, and help others. Learned about different abilities — how some friends may move, see, or hear in unique ways. Practiced empathy and inclusion through thoughtful discussions, storytelling, and real-life examples. One of the highlights was the gentle introduction to artworks created by children, teens, and adults with disabilities . Through these pieces, the young participants explored different ways people express themselves and communicate through art, encouraging them to see beyond differences and connect with the heart. 🌈 A Safe and Supportive Space for Discovery Our art studio was transformed into a vibrant, inclusive learning space filled with laughter, curiosity, and meaningful conversations. Guided by our experienced facilitators, each session gave children the space to reflect, ask questions, and express their understanding of kindness in their own creative ways. We were deeply moved by their openness, warmth, and thoughtful insights — proof that even the youngest among us are capable of deep compassion and understanding. 💡 Planting the Seeds of Inclusion Early At Art for Good , our mission is to use art as a tool for positive social change. The Little Hearts, Big Kindness program is part of our broader effort to create inclusive spaces where children of all backgrounds and abilities can learn together. We are honoured to have partnered with Star Learners Preschool for this meaningful experience, and we look forward to welcoming more young minds to our studio in the months to come. Interested in bringing your preschool group for an inclusive art excursion? Contact us at hello@artforgood.sg to learn more. ✨ Because every child can learn to see with their heart.
