On top of that, a national element booth with traditional games such as five stones was set up to encourage culture sharing and inculcate a sense of belonging to the migrant workers. Upon completion of all the booths, the migrant workers would also receive a goodie bag with fruits such as apples and bananas to encourage healthy diet.

Beyond the benefits that was offered to the migrant workers, the student volunteers from different faculties also reflected their gratitude towards this opportunity to work with students from different healthcare faculties and contribute to the society. In particular, Essential Medicines committee volunteers were grateful for having a meaningful platform to practice a core aspect of pharmacy profession – health education – in a real-world context. The volunteers from Project First Aid also shared the same sentiment, expressing their appreciation towards the opportunity to collaborate and give back to the community in everyone’s own unique way. Khai Tjie, a year 3 Pharmacy student, also shared that he felt privileged for the chance to make a genuine impact on the migrant workers’ lives through improving their health literacy and awareness.
