Rest Day, Sports Day: Building Communities and Wellness through HOME Sports
For many migrant domestic workers (MDWs), a rest day is precious. It might be spent running errands, meeting friends, or simply enjoying the outdoors. For others, it’s a chance to stay active and connected through sport. Every alternate Sunday, teams of MDWs come together at Sembawang Recreation Centre to do just that. HOME Sports organises tournaments across various sports, providing a space for the MDW community to come together, compete, and support one another.
