(For this issue we will give way to public announcements from the Mission about its forthcoming celebration of its 38th founding anniversary)
Know more about your rights as a migrant worker by visiting a consultation booth to be set up on Chater Road on May 19, as part of the Mission for Migrant Workers’ 38th anniversary.
The booth is just one of several to be set up in line with the Mission’s regular Care to Caregivers services fair. The event is held 3 to 4 times a year to provide free services and information for the whole day to migrant domestic workers, hoping to give back the care they give to Hong Kong families for six days in a week.

The Mission partners with different service providers in providing free blood pressure check, Chinese medicine consultation, reflexology, massage, dental care, financial literacy education, expressive art therapy, as well as free drinks and information material on labor-related matters.
At the same time, an awarding ceremony for the winning “good employers” under the Happy Homes program will be held. This is a social advocacy which promotes (1) respect, (2) recognition, (3) mutual understanding and (4) fair-treatment between employer and worker.
