Filipino expatriates are proving to be a cut above the rest after securing tailoring skills at special sessions lined-up to offer them lifestyle talents and potentially future employment opportunities when they return home.
Forty-five took part in the specialised dress-making programme held at the Majestic Hotel in Juffair. The initiative, spanning seven Fridays, was organised by the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), Migrant Workers Office (MWO) and community-based women organisation Pinay Ikaw Na (PIN).
OWWA welfare officer Juvilyn Gumabay warmly greeted the participating overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), noting the ‘profound importance of programmes like this’ to encourage entrepreneurship.
