The following photos you will see are the actual event together with the event host and the distress kabayans. We have to blur some photos to ensure the privacy of the kabayans and to avoid public humiliation.
SHARE YOUR BLESSINGS
We did not prolong the speech so we started giving away the toiletries and soon raffle prizes began.
FREE CALLS FOR KABAYAN'S
Aside from the items we provide to them, we also gave them a free calls in the Philippines using our personal mobiles who has some extra minutes available. Since majority of us are using a post paid plan, we come up with this idea so they can have a chance to talk their family back home. All of them are not allowed to use their personal mobile phones to avoid any contact between them and their employers or to avoid them from getting out/escaping the embassy territory. This is for their own protection since they do not have a proper documentation which might led them in jail if they got caught from outside.
Watching them while over the phone crying, I cannot help myself to feel sympathy, how hard it is being away from your family and at the same time struggling without any idea until when this will be over. I really admire them because they are all brave women. Even though they know what will be the future holds still they have the courage to gamble. They want the best for their family, I hope they'll get the best too.
APO CARES, APO SHARES
The service will not be successful if its not for the kind hearted and initiatives of my fellow brothers and sisters from different directorate of APO Emarat 121 AA-- Dubai Directorate, Al Ain Directorate, SNED and Abu Dhabi Directorate. Thank you for all the sponsors as well who contributed in this event, special mentioned to those we carol last December 2017, from APO friends, colleagues and relatives.
