As an OFW Blogger, a huge part of my advocacy concerns the welfare of our fellow kabayans, reaching them through my writings. I also try my best to initiate programs and drives, with the help of other Filipino Community leaders and members here in Kuwait or well – meaning kabayans who have the heart to serve others.
This month, we were able to give some gifts to OFW Filipinas staying at the Philippine Embassy. Although the gifts were not expensive, the smiles on the faces of fellow kabayans who received these were genuine and full of heartfelt gratitude. During these times, I realize that despite the different trials that came my way before, the struggles that I face each passing day, I continue to give thanks to the Lord for providing me the strength to go on.

These gifts can really do a lot for those Pinoys. This advocacy serves like an inspiration to do good things to others.
Wow, the government must award you for this. You are one of our so-called “bagong bayani.” =)
Thanks but there are many other “bagong bayani” among our kabayans 🙂
In the countries where I’ve lived and worked, all over the Middle East and Asia, it is Filipinos who do all the work and make everything happen. When I am working in a new company abroad, I seek out the Filipino staff when I need help getting something done, and done right. Your international reputation as employees is that you work hard, don’t complain, and are very capable. If all the Filipinos were to go home from the Middle East, the world would stop. Oil is the lifeblood of the world, but without Filipinos, the oil will not come from the ground, it will not be loaded onto the ships, and the ships will not sail. The offices that make the deals and collect the payments will not even open in the morning. The schools will not have teachers, and, of course, the hospitals will have no staff.
So nice of you to actually do this 🙂 You make us proud!
This certainly is heartwarming!
knowing the plight of OFW’s..
Guess I am lucky to be one of those youngsters who found a job that pays well and doesnt have to explore other horizons abroad.
I have always been curious of what OFW’s have to go through since my father is one. 🙂
Being an OFW is a bitter sweet experience, I tell you 🙂
Thank God, the spirit of Bayanihan lives on. Saludo ako sa iyo and to those who lend hand in doing such noble cause to our OFW at Kuwait.
very admirable. may you help more ofw’s. your an inspiration to others. 🙂
This is very inspiring. I admire you for pushing for this advocacy. It’ll definitely give more support to our Filipino kababayans abroad. 🙂
This is really touching. I’m sure they’re been really grateful with the gifts. I hope you can do more of that. Such a generous heart. 🙂
That is a good way of saying we care to the kabayan stranded in the Philippine embassy. They need all the help we can kahit maliit pa yan.
Wow. I couldn’t be more proud. Kudos to you and to your future endeavors po! 🙂
Keep it up Gracia. Your big heart will benefit a large number of our kababayan!
I admire your advocacy for OFWs and I’m sure those little gifts could mean a lot.
