From back-breaking working hours and loneliness, to delayed salaries, a culmination of factors have consistently plagued migrant workers, adversely affecting their psyche. While completely weeding out such issues may seem like an uphill task, there are organisations who are going the extra mile to render much-needed assistance to the struggling community.

Despite being a country that prides itself on racial and religious equality, how Singaporeans view migrant workers has been questioned for not giving them enough respect. As more migrant workers come to our shores, how can we change our perceptions of them?

I am Ouyang (AW ZI YING) from Batu Pahat, Johor, Malaysia. Currently, I am pursuing a degree in Child Development and Family Education at Tzu Chi University in Taiwan, with a specialization in family education and special education. I have a great interest in these fields and aim to gain a profound understanding to provide support and assistance to families and children with special needs. I strongly believe that family education plays a crucial role in children’s growth and development, and thus, I am dedicated to learning how to help parents create a positive, loving, and supportive environment while raising their children.

I am Peng-bin Lin, but you can also call me Peter. I come from Taitung, Taiwan. Currently, I am studying in the Department of Child Development and Family Studies at Tzu Chi University in Taiwan.

I joined the HYC team as part of my school’s World of Work program for eight days.

However, through the constant guidance and encouragement from the HYC staff, me and my teammates became very comfortable with Tzu Chi’s work culture and values. These values consist of teamwork, compassion, and understanding.
