FAST will also include new courses that FDWs are interested and have greater value. This will also including life skill courses like stress management etc. 2 Promotion and engaging the society - FATS would like the Singapore society to have better understand and appreciation of FDW's work and contributions. 3 Graduation ceremony - This will be an yearly event to recognise the FDW who scarifies their rest days for learning and to show appreciation to employers who supported their FDWs in their learning journey, eg, give them time off or off day or even monetary support, to enable and facilitate their FDW to learn. 4 Community service - FAST plans to hold 1 or 2 community services while FDWs of cooking lessons cook for elderly. 5 Cultural activities - eg Rice Dumpling and Moon Cake Festival - FDWs learn the stories of these festivals and learn how to make rice dumplings and moon cakes.
