It was a difficult time. People stayed at home for extended periods as students adopted distance learning and adults started working from home. The new normal also brought the need for new skills and introduced new terms like front-liners, circuit breakers and safe-distancing measures. Stories of Kindness is a compilation of articles from The Pride that celebrates individuals and organisations that showed graciousness during a time of need. These stories feature those who have gone above and beyond to help fellow Singaporeans who face physical and financial challenges as well as those who battle mental wellness issues. Inspiring and heart-warming, this collection of 39 stories reminds us that there is kindness in everyone and finds a silver lining in a global pandemic — that in times of trouble, instead of stepping away, people will step up to show charity, compassion, and consideration for others
