Synopsis: Every Thursday, find out about #StayHome lifestyle, entertainment and arts choices during the Covid-19 pandemic in Singapore now.

Host Ernest Luis chats with artistic director of ChildAid 2020 – Jeremiah Choy – on the idea for this year's charity concert to be streamed online on July 15 at 8pm during the Covid-19 pandemic. (1:30)

They are joined by performer and composer Amni Musfirah and Zach Edwards, who is only 7 years of age. They both sing on the spot, a verse or two from the ChildAid theme song, A World To Imagine. (3:30)

The concert hopes to feature more than 200 past ChildAid performers singing this theme song to help raise funds for The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund and The Business Times Budding Artists Fund.
