Pastor helps keep Singapore's migrant workers fed during COVID19 lockdown
SINGAPORE - Pastor Samuel Gift Stephen spends his days trying to ensure migrant workers in Singapore, confined to cramped dormitories due to an outbreak of coronavirus, all remain well fed.
The government has said employers are required to provide sufficient food for workers during this lockdown period, but it is also working with NGOs like Stephen's Alliance of Guest Workers Outreach to make up any shortfalls.
