We hope to give out a pair of smartphones (one each to a male and female migrant worker) as a lucky draw prize at our upcoming Lunch with Heart.

If you can sponsor this, please DM us! Any brand and model will do.

Thank you!

Smartphones are the lifeline for migrant workers to connect with their families back home. Many have phones with broken screens and bloated batteries that they can't afford to replace.

They gifted Debbie a beautiful pencil sketch of the Little India shophouse where TWC2's shelter and meal programme is based at, and this drawing now adorns the wall of #twc2sg's office.

Several students from Bukit Panjang Government High School's Student Council and others visited TWC2 earlier this year for a meaningful and eye-opening visit that gave them new knowledge of the challenges that migrant workers face.

On 16 September they gave a presentation at the school’s morning assembly, and interviewed TWC2’s president Debbie Fordyce. They also prepared posters based on their research on migrant workers and invited responses from fellow students.

There are almost a million low-wage migrant workers in Singapore. They’re often segregated and excluded from Singapore’s resident population. We talk to Stephanie Chok of @migrantworkersg and Debbie Fordyce of @twc2sg about the issues they population face. https://t.co/EYBoASnLvB

Migrant workers are cleaning Pasir Ris Park for free! What? Yes! But you can reward them for their hard work https://t.co/wmwxoe8b0H #twc2sg #singapore #twitterforgood

Employers can terminate the work permits of low-wage migrant workers at any time. Shouldn't these workers be given the chance to find new employment rather than to face immediate repatriation? We think so! #twc2sg #migrantworkers #singapore https://t.co/0yA7oNNGsd

hey @Nestle how many retweets will it take for you to send a #MiloVan to our celebration event for #migrantworkers in #singapore?

(4/4) 3) It is puzzling that this fraud appears to have been undetected for two years? The number of workers cheated and the injustice perpetrated with impunity in this period is shocking.

(1/4) @ChannelNewsAsia reported last week that @MOM_sg had prosecuted a company director for illegally importing labour, collecting kickbacks https://t.co/Bu2WG5465x #twc2sg #migrantworkers #singapore

(3/4) 2) What has happened to the workers? Have they been compensated in any way?

Many migrant workers in #Singapore love cooking their own meals, but can't always do so. Find out what a typical catered meal for them is like. https://t.co/LGBwkEzg72
