Alexandra Pascalidou (a Greek-Swedish columnist, television hostess and author) at her Facebook:
The first time I met the Queen, I was 14 and went in Rinkeby School. The Queen greeted and we were so happy that she looked like we and sounded like our mothers. Then I would never dare to dream of one day work with the queen at the Palace and lead Mentor's Annual General Meeting for the eminent guests, mentors and youth. Thanks to everyone involved! Today it is more important than ever that we are weaving the world together.

Such lovely words for the queen! She also looks very happy and relax in those pics!
 
Queen Silvia was interviewed at the Mentor events at the Royal Palace.
The Queen was asked if Princess Leonore and Prince Nicolas will be with the baptism of Prince Oscar on May 27th. Many missed them at the King's 70th birthday.
- We have discussed about it so much, but they are quite small. Obviously we would have liked to see little Leonore be there when the king turned 70, but it was so much official, with changes and time pressure, so I don't think they had felt so good then. I hope everyone understands that it is not so easy with a ten-month baby and a two year old, the Queen explained.
Expressen's TV-reporter Jenny Petersson also asked the Queen if she had any mentors in her life.
- When I came to Sweden 40 years ago, it was pretty lonely for me here. Most people around me were men and military. Princess Christina has always been there, and of course, she has meant a lot to me. But as a mentor Queen Ingrid was a great role model and help. She was very attentive and we had a fine relationship, the Queen told.

Queen Silvia of Sweden, who is also chairperson of Mentor Foundation International, has commended efforts by the Kuwaiti official and private bodies for the prevention of drugs, and awareness on their dangers.
Drugs are no local or even regional problem, but an international one that worries the entire world, Queen Silvia told KUNA on Saturday, during her current visit to Kuwait. She said that the world has been suffering from the spread of narcotics and drug-taking at early age, as they have become easy to buy under various names and at low prices. It is a global worry. The Queen voiced pride of the hard efforts and achievements of Mentor Arabia in Kuwait and the entire Arab region.

Queen Silvia inaugurates a Mentor International's program for young refugees in Konstanz. Ten refugees - mostly from Syria and Afghanistan - receive assistance from one of the volunteer mentors for a year through the Foundation.

The Mentor Foundation Germany started together with Geschwister-Scholl-Schule Konstanz on 27 September 2017 on the island of Mainau a mentor program with young refugees. Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden, who has started the worldwide initiative with Mentor International, took part at the start of the program. Together with partners from science and practice, as well as with other organizations, Mentor develops modern and innovative prevention projects for the adolescents in order to make them stronger for dealing with difficult situations in life.
At a workshop Queen Silvia met the young refugees as well as their future mentors and worked during the day with countess Bettina Bernadotte, the Chairman of the Management Board Mentor Foundation Germany and the Management Board of Mentor Germany.

Yes, and so far I haven't found photos of that. Only this, pianist Robert Wells put this to his Instagram yesterday evening:
"Directly from USA to an important evening for guests and our Queen Silvia. About Mentorship where I and piano student Alice Power got to give a musical mentorship aspect. Alice has been with Wells Academy Pianocamp for six years."

Queen Silvia attended on Thursday at Board meeting and annual meeting of Mentor Sweden at the Royal Palace.

Business is playing a key role in Mentor's hard work of keeping youngsters away from drugs and violence. Queen Silvia noted this at the organization's annual general meeting.
The founder of Mentor Sweden, Queen Silvia, opened the meeting by turning to the many young people in the audience.
- Here all kings and queens are listening to you, she said, referring to the well-stocked bookshelves of the Bernadotte Library.
Mentor's operations are funded entirely by business and among the most significant donors are major companies like H & M, SEB, JM and Astra Zeneca.
The queen stressed the important role played by the companies in the organization's work.
- To all companies that have made this possible, I would like to thank you very much. I want you to know what a big difference you have made for the young people, she said.
