"𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲." 💙

When Sister Thidar Tun took to the stage with her guitar to perform Let Me Be There, it was more than just a song — it was a heartfelt message to every migrant domestic worker (MDW) and volunteer gathered to celebrate CDE's 10th anniversary.

Having arrived in Singapore from Myanmar in 2007, she understands firsthand what it means to start over in a new country. Thirteen years later, her performance became a reminder that none of us has face life’s challenges alone.

A seasoned performer since her school days, Thidar chose the song for its powerful message: one that reflects the spirit of the CDE community: standing together, supporting one another, and celebrating how far we've come.

Her hope is to see the Myanmar MDW community in Singapore become even more united through volunteering and mutual support.

Her message to everyone is heartfelt and simple:
"Be kind to yourself. Everyone has a story to tell. Whatever the situation, we're always ready to support you. Let me be there — for all of us."
Thank you, Thidar Tun, for sharing not only your voice, but also your compassion and hope with our community. 🎸❤️

Some melodies carry us home. 💙

At this year’s May Day for Domestic Employees and 10th Anniversary Celebrations, Sister Dewi took to the piano with 𝘉𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘈𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯 by Richard Clayderman — a piece that brings her back to the memories of her hometown in Central Java, Indonesia.

Inspired by the timeless beauty of classical music, Dewi found time to practise despite long working hours, mastering the fast-paced arpeggios required for the piece. Her dedication reflects the same passion she has carried since her days performing in a band back home, where she played not only the piano, but also the drums and guitar.
For Dewi, performing was more than sharing her music talent — it was an opportunity to express gratitude and connect with others through music.

Her message to everyone is simple yet heartfelt:
"When you want to learn something, go for it. Pour your heart into it and keep trying. Be grateful and appreciate those around you."

Thank you, Dewi, for reminding us that music has the power to carry our memories, our gratitude, and our dreams. 🎹✨

What is a song or melody that always takes you home? 💙

𝗔𝗿𝘁𝘀, 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

Our CDE staff and volunteers, including migrant domestic workers (MDWs) who chose to spend their rest day giving back to the community, accompanied residents at NTUC Health Nursing Home through art activities, familiar songs, and moments of duetting and dancing together.

Amid the painting, music and movement, MDWs and seniors spent a meaningful and memorable morning connecting with one another through shared laughter, creativity and simple companionship. These small, shared moments allowed warm connections to form naturally. Care packs were also given out as a simple gesture of care and appreciation.

We thank NTUC Health Nursing Home (Pasir Ris and Tampines) for partnering us on this Corporate Social Responsibility initiative focused on presence, patience, and meaningful connection with seniors.

to our recent 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟭𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀!

From engaging activities to meaningful performances to moments of friendship and celebration, the day brought people together to recognise the contributions of migrant domestic workers and celebrate the community that has blossomed.

As CDE marked its 10th anniversary, the occasion was also an opportunity to reflect on the partnerships, friendships and shared efforts that have shaped our journey over the past decade. None of this would have been possible without the support of our volunteers, partners and employers who have journeyed with us over the years.

Take a look at some of the highlights from the day and join us in reliving the memories.

❤️ Here's to many more years of shared journeys!
