Children today live in a materially-driven world. How do we raise them to embrace volunteerism or charity, and nurture the spirit of giving back to society? We speak to consultant developmental paediatrician Dr Rajini Sarvananthan, and Sharifah Sarah, whose daughter Maryam uses art to save children’s hearts.
