Migrant Workers Enjoy Day Off At iFly S’pore Thanks To MOM & Non-Profit Organisation

Migrant Workers Enjoy A Day Off At iFly Singapore

Migrant workers often time do not get to enjoy the simple joys in life.

The reality is that they spend most of their time either at their workplaces or cooped up in their dormitories.

With the help of Transient Workers Count Too (TWC2) and the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), some migrant workers got to go on a lil’ trip to iFly Singapore.

The happy-looking bunch – all geared up – had a go at their first indoor skydiving experience.

The workers’ needs were taken into account too, with meals provided and what looks to be a dozen delicious Krispy Kreme doughnuts after the challenging activity.

What TWC2 does

TWC2 is a non-profit organisation that aims to promote equitable treatment for migrant workers in Singapore.

It is commonplace for the agency to provide experiences like this to spark joy in these migrant workers’ lives.

Just this month on 7 Feb, TWC2 organised a carnival as they wanted to offer some “fun in the sun” for the workers.

They’d been cooped up in their dorms and worksite due to Covid-19.

Hope the workers had an enthralling experience

Judging from the photos, it seems like the migrant workers had an absolute blast at iFly Singapore.

We ought to treat them with respect and kindness for essentially being the building blocks of our society, and for plugging the labour shortage that not many citizens are willing to take on.

Above all else, kudos to TWC2 for this excellent initiative.
