Be Inspired Series ft. Zakir Hossain Khokan

The "Be Inspired" series by Up Your Game Community strives to present stories of everyday heroes who display grit and gratitude in the face of adverse situations.

In this video we feature Zakir Hossian Khokan.

Having left his home and come to Singapore for work and career himself, he soon found himself empathising with the thousands of other migrant workers who feel alone and out of their comfort zone far away from home, family and loved ones and finding it challenging to integrate in their new country of work.

Turning to his love and passion for poetry and photography, Zakir started building a community called Migrant Workers of Singapore and bringing them together through activities that allow the migrants to learn and perform poetry.

He started curating photoexhibitions that told picture stories through the lenses of the migrant population who could now hone their photography skills. He has encouraged the community to express themselves through writing and regularly publishes books featurint their works.

He also advocates the love for reading through his One Bag, One Book initiative where he aspired to encourage all of us to have at least one book to read in our bags at all times.

Through his efforts, not only has he brought the migrant workers together, but by showcasing their talents and stories, allowed the locals to have a deeper appreciation for the migrant community and thereby building the necessary bridge towards integration.

In this video, we hear from him about his motivations and lessons learnt along the way and why he does what he does.

Do share this video so that more can be inspired to make a difference in their own little way too.
