Our team celebrated National Day with migrant brothers at Cochrane Recreation Centre on 7 August. Here are some highlights from the event!
Fun & Educational Games
We invited the brothers to play a carnival game that introduced them to healthy eating and nutrition. Our team prepared pictures of healthy and unhealthy food options, and secured them on empty drink cans. Migrant brothers were asked to knock down the unhealthy food options.
Caricature Drawings
To acknowledge and recognise the contributions of migrant workers who helped build and develop our country, we organized a special live caricature drawing event. We included their favourite fruits or sports in the drawings to remind them to choose a healthier lifestyle.
Our migrant brothers loved receiving their drawings! We want to thank our caricature artists and students from ComxNaut for partnering with us to bring joy to the brothers.
We interacted with over 200 migrant brothers that day. It made us happy to see them all enjoying the event!
Testimonials from Students
Not only was the event enjoyable for migrant workers, but the student volunteers also had a memorable time. Here’s what they shared about their experience:
“This event reminded me that migrant workers are normal people too, not just people from overseas tasked with building Singapore. I was heartened to see how happy the migrant workers were upon receiving their drawings. This service-learning opportunity also gave me a chance to improve my caricature skills.”
“The most memorable part of the event was seeing the migrant brothers smile when they saw the caricature drawings that we did for them. This showed me that one can bring smiles to people's faces without monetary items.”
