ABOUT US

 TCK Learning Centre for Migrant Workers ("TCKLC") is an all-volunteer educational charity based in Hong Kong that, in a friendly and supportive atmosphere, offers regular Sunday classes to migrant domestic workers on English, Mandarin Chinese, computer skills, book-keeping, sewing and dress-making, crochet, and make-up.

​

With the slogan of "From Us, By Us, For Us!" TCKLC tutors are mostly Indonesian domestic workers complemented by volunteers and partner organisations. Workshops may be offered on, for example, entrepreneurship, Arabic, film making and editing, CV-writing, employees' legal rights, saving and investment, health and well-being, first aid and creative writing. TCKLC has often been invited to offer dance, music, martial art and fashion show performances, with our Angklung music group being particularly active.

​

Other activities have included two Indonesian Workers' Art and Culture Exhibitions (IWACE) which allowed our members to showcase some of their artistic talent in singing, dance, dress competitions, poetry and handicrafts. We also publish a creative writing magazine, Java Tales and Voices, with personal experiences, short stories, poems and articles all written in English by Indonesian domestic workers. Some of our authors have had their work published in the Hong Kong Writers Circle annual anthology.
