We are extremely grateful to Shilpa Parthasarathi, Kanaka Sirpal, Vijay Maheshwari and Dr Ramesh Rajentheran as they resign from their board positions at IRR for all their contributions to IRR - after nearly 4 years on the board for Kanaka, 2.5 years on the board for Shilpa (longer as a non-board volunteer before that) and Vijay, and 2 years on the board for Ramesh (longer as a volunteer). Thank you Shilpa, Kanaka, Vijay and Ramesh for all your service in the areas of treasury, internal audit, donor relations, grant management, technology, HR, your presence at various IRR events and more. The new board members, the long term volunteer leaders and all of us at IRR wish you all the very best in your new and next adventures. May the blessings of countless migrant workers that IRR helps be with you. We look forward to carrying on the important mission of supporting our nearly one million migrant workers but you have all been an important part of that story 🙏🏼❤️.

The plight of migrant workers the world over is achingly sad….and similar.

PRO BONO LEGAL HELP URGENTLY NEEDED A worker has been prosecuted for a certain drug-related offense, and the first court hearing is scheduled for the beginning of September. He is in urgent need of a lawyer who can support him on this case on a pro bono basis. Please WhatsApp us @ 81018187 if you are able to render help to this worker, whose family at home has already desperately reached out for IRR’s help.

Last Sunday, our migrant brothers enjoyed learning Wound + Fracture Bandaging & Immobilization and CPR from the Singapore Red Cross! We would like to express our gratitude to LGT Private Banking for sponsoring the event and providing our migrant brothers with the opportunity to learn basic bandaging and CPR. We are also thankful to the Sembawang RC team for generously opening up their RC to host the event! Last but not least, we appreciate our dedicated volunteers for spending their whole Sunday with our migrant brothers!
