EA: Engagement at TWC2
At this engagement I went to visit one of TWC2’s projects, the Cuff Roads Project, in Little India. This is where they give free meals to the migrant workers. After interviewing a person at this working with the organisation and speaking to a migrant worker I began to realise that all social and political issues become even more complex as you dive deeper into them. It goes along with the saying the more you know, the less you know. During the interview I started to find it difficult to understand the details of some of the struggles what workers face because these issues are so complicated. When I spoke to a migrant worker I became more aware of the assumptions that I had had internally. I was surprised by the fluency of which the workers spoke english and I was amazed by how humbly their interactions were despite everything they had been through. During my interview the manager of the Cuff Road Project said something that truly resonated with me. She said that if you are privileged, know that you are privileged at the cost of someone else. This made me realise what it really means to take responsibility of the privileges I have.
