Thirty-three Filipinos have graduated from a programme aimed at teaching them key skills such as financial literacy, leadership training and social entrepreneurship.
A graduation ceremony was held at the Mövenpick Bahrain to honour the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW).
The Ateneo Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship Programme (ALSE OF-LIFE) was organised in collaboration with the Philippine Embassy, Migrant Workers Office (MWO) Bahrain and the Filipino Club Bahrain.
Philippine Ambassador Anne Jalando-on Louis and Ateneo School of Government dean Dr Philip Tuaño delivered speeches emphasising the graduates’ role in being change-makers in their communities. They also highlighted how education and leadership can positively impact the lives of OFWs.
Graduates received certificates and some gave testimonials.
