help HOME now..
NJC interact club and National University of Singapore is raising funds as well as other donations for HOME (Humanitarian Organization of Migrant Economics.)
About HOMEThe Humanitarian Organization of Migrant Economics (HOME) is a registered society and charity that looks into the welfare and rights of migrant workers in Singapore. It adopts a multi-pronged approach of Advocacy, Welfare and Empowerment with a myriad of programmes implemented in line with this. HOME also offers assistance and redress for the many problems that plague these foreign workers, establishing and maintaining two shelters that provide food and lodging for destitute migrant workers as they await redress.
However, the shelters can only take in a limited number of workers. There are many other destitute workers who desperately need help but HOME lacks the funds to provide them with any form of assistance.
Project objectiveWe hope to lend support to HOME by working with NUS to raise funds for HOME as well as essential food items to alleviate the pressing problem of a shortage of food items. In addition, we aim to raise awareness about the plight of foreign workers and take one step further in educating the student population and debunking any stereotypes that they may have of migrant economics.
We will be carrying out the fund raising as well as collection of food items such as rice and canned food within NJC. Campaigns and exhibitions will be put up as well during the course of project to raise awareness. Prior to the whole event, we may be carrying out publicity within the school.
So do help by bringing food items such as rice and canned food within NJC! Give it to the Interact booth in school Canteen from this weds to fri (26.03.08-28.03.08).
Thank you!
Love, jingqi. (:
