Celebrating Deepavali with 2,000 Migrant Workers at Penjuru

In collaboration with the Ministry of Manpower's Assurance, Care and Engagement Group (ACE Group) and Cornerstone Community Services, we organised a Deepavali carnival to celebrate with our migrant brothers at Penjuru Recreation Centre on 24 October.

Our migrant brothers were happy they could celebrate Deepavali after two years of muted festivities due to Covid-19 restrictions.

This year, we focused on games, health screening and education programmes to encourage migrant workers to keep up their mental and physical well-being.

Thank you to FG Concepts for generously sponsoring water bottles and umbrellas to give out to our migrant brothers.

We are glad to have brought festive cheer to over 2,000 migrant brothers!

A Celebration of Resilience

The carnival was featured on Channel News Asia and The Straits Times, where our founder and project lead, Tam Wai Jia, shared about what the celebration meant to migrant workers.

She said the carnival not only celebrated a meaningful holiday for migrant workers, but it also was a way of commemorating their resilience throughout the pandemic.
