[Top] I went back to Humanitarian Organization for Migration Economics (HOME) office today to reconnect with the people who run the organization. I met them last March and started photographing the Migrant runaways. I was not able to go back to Singapore because of lack of funds. I finally got the opportunity to continue the project this month when the Pulitzer Center gave me a grant to continue the project. As i wait there, two new runaway migrant domestic workers arrived.

[Middle] I accompanied a runaway migrant worker to her agency to fetch her things. Her former employer left her things at her agency after the agency contacted them. October 10, 2016
[Bottom] I noticed tons of construction areas in Singapore. They are building new roads, subway stations in different areas of the city non-stop. Singapore is known as a global city and it’s obvious with the new infrastructures they are building. October 12, 2016
