50 former Overseas Foreign Workers (OFWs) beneficiaries recently received a “Starter Kit” under the “Kabuhayan Program” of Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) in San Miguel, this province.
Each starter kit costs P4,000.00 according to Nancy Elizalde, Community Development officer.
In an information coming from Community Development Information Officer (CDIO) Nancy Elizalde, the local government of San Miguel headed by Mayor Alfeo Perez, supported the program by conducting several trainings to qualified unemployed OFWs in the said municipality.
The trainings conducted were the following: massage, cosmetology, electrician and plumbing. The training program focused on hands on and lecture that were simultaneously held in the area.
The DOLE “Kabuhayan Program” is under the Capacity Building Services for Livelihood, and a priority project of the Arroyo Administration to enhance capacity building for livelihood to unemployed OFWs.
That’s good news. I hope DOLE, OWWA POEA and other government and NGOs would help more OFWs and their families especially those who are truly in need. Nice article.
