Bless Bridget for setting up H.O.M.E. to help migrant workers. It was courages of her to move away from ACMI where there were too many red-tapes that tied her hands from reaching out as she wanted to. Keep up the good work! Especially the domestic worker, who needs more protection from all sorts of abuses.
HOME and ACMI have got different objectives, ACMI’s main objective is to provide pastoral care to the migrant workers and being a catholic run org it does not promote what it does as widely as HOME.
However, that does not mean that no work is done. Please visit their training centres in the weekend at HIghland Rd. and you will be able to witness it for yourselves. Go and visit the Good Shepard Sisters’ shelter and check out with MOM to see how many cases ACMI has referred to them. ACMI’s soup kitchen feeds migrant workers about 2 time weekly and it works with a team of catholic lawyers who deal with advocacy and trial work.
It is not denied that Bridget is doing good work. But please do not forget that there are others in the background who are also doing work in different ways.
