Iftar Mahfil & Interaction session held between South East Asian Service Leadership Network (SEALNET) and Banglar Kantha Writer’s Forum

An interactive session between SEALnet, an international group of mostly university students, and Banglar Kantha Writers' Forum took place on the 21st August 2011, followed by Iftar Mahfil at Dibashram. The forum members and 26 of the SEALnet group compared the lives of migrant workers and Singaporeans, their roles in their respective home countries.

Qianying, the leader of SEALnet in Singapore said that the interaction is part of their mission to bring together migrant workers and local citizens, and to increase the awareness of Singaporeans about foreigners. She and the other SEALnet members were surprised that the Writers Forum are able to spend their leisure time creatively, creating poetry or literary pieces. The SEALnet used their time in Singapore to take photographs of migrant workers to exhibit on Orchard Road.
