Making a new account just to advertise? That isnt so polite, then again, TS didnt ask whether it's ok to advertise or not...
Even if it's for a good cause, seeing this in AA isnt right...

My perception is that it is indeed a very good idea, and strongly encourage more to volunteer their time.
I was once a confused child, angst filled rebellious teenager, bewildered adult. But I was fortunate that I had a mentor at each stage of my developement. However, I doubt if many others are as fortunate as me.
Not that it made me a perfect person, for I am only human and flawed, but there were questions that were answered with honesty and sincerity and helped me alot.
The best councillors are the ones whom had suffered and experienced pains before, and would thus be in the best position to help others on how the issues started, developed, and the resolution of it, thru the honest and sincere sharing of experiences.
Another kind would be the highly educated, for they would have access to perceptions and abilities not many would have a chance to learn about. Education is not about making money, but elevating one's mind above selfish ambitions and helping society along, and how more than to spare an hour or 2 to help another? It would, at times literally save lives.
Young or old, human lives are precious. More so our youths in this confusing globalized world. We were kids once, and will have our own kids one day, who may not listen to us, but to their knowledgeable peers one day too.
The building of a better society and civilisation begins with you and me.
If we dont help one another, who will help us? We are one nation, one people - Singaporeans. We are one. It is for a noble cause. Thanks to those who respond, and those whom are considering, as well as those who would like to, but unable due to circumstances.
Thanks.
PS: I am in no way connected to TS.
