Engaging with Migrant Workers at Defu Industrial City and Choa Chu Kang Dormitories

In our ongoing efforts to support and empower the migrant worker community, we recently organized two engaging outreach sessions in collaboration with TS Group.

Defu Industrial City (DIC) Dormitory

One of the highlights of our outreach at DIC Dormitory was our informative session on lower back pain.

We were fortunate to have physiotherapist and osteopath volunteers who shared their expertise with the migrant workers. Through engaging discussions and practical demonstrations, they learned about myths surrounding lower back pain, discovered effective ways to manage pain when it arises, and practiced exercises aimed at easing discomfort.

Learning doesn't have to be boring! Through our health education games, migrant brothers learned the importance of workplace safety, balanced diets, and physically activity. Not only did they learn about the benefits of healthy eating habits, but they also discovered ways to incorporate regular physical activity into their daily routines.

The migrant brothers at 11A Choa Chu Kang Dormitory were given the opportunity to have their BMI and blood pressure measured. These screenings offer valuable insights into their health status and help identify potential areas for improvement.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the doctors and volunteers who graciously joined us, sharing their expertise and contributing to the well-being of our migrant community.

To enhance our engagement and ensure that our brothers gain a comprehensive understanding of health, we organized interactive health education games. These activities delved into key aspects of healthy living, including dietary choices and exercise recommendations. Through these games, we empowered our brothers with practical knowledge that they can incorporate into their everyday lives.

We were delighted to witness the receptiveness of our migrant brothers as they embraced new insights and knowledge.
