OFW's DREAM

No Matter How Difficult the Past, You Can Always Begin Again Today..

TRUE... Our life as an OFW is not easy. Yes, every one can see us on our photos smiling, but deep inside it's just our get away to ease the homesickness and lighten the burden we always carrying.. To sustain us from being far away from our loved ones.



Every OFW have DREAMS, for our families and loved ones.. And we always pursue to reach that dream, no matter how hard it is, how many times we failed.


I want to share my own Dream to you.. As a single mother I want the best for my Daughter. I left her at the age of One, to work in Hongkong. November, 2006. Yes, my daughter didn't grow up with me. I wasn't there when she spoke her first word, when she was sick, I wasn't there to take care of her. Wasn't there to hug and assure her that everything is alright when she is scared. But i have to be strong and fight all those feelings, for my daughter..


My only Dream is to give her a better and comfortable life, to provide all her needs. I may not be the best Mom, but I love my daughter so much, that she is MY EVERYTHING in this world...




Pursuing my dream, need to made decisions and take some actions. That happened September, 2009, when I decided to apply as a Volunteer worker to London, UK. A certain Global Placement Provider recruitment agency, owned by a Filipina, who was based in London.. The offer on how you can earn much larger amount and the chance of being able to bring your family made me decide to apply.


October 13, 2010, I went home after resigning from my job. Paid 60,000 Pesos as partial payment for the placement fee. Hoping that we can apply the Visa soon.


Another trial happened, my father died, a sudden death am not prepared of. It really hurt so much, that he died, without experiencing the comfortable life, I've always dreamed for them. But of course Life must go on, still have my daughter, and the rest of the family to attend to.


To make the story short, we applied the visa but was denied, because the school they enrolled us, was banned in London. Hundreds of us were being fooled by the agency. They made us expect for nothing, but anyway the case is now in court. What ever is the verdict, we lift everything to God Almighty.


I stayed almost two years at home. Don't know what to do and how to start again. Until August, 2011 I decided to work again in Hongkong, as a Domestic Helper.To Pursue my dreams for my daughter and family, to reach that Success I've been trying to reach...


This time , need to be more careful in taking actions.

Must investigate and inquire thoroughly the credibility and legality of the agencies, planned to apply with.

No matter how many times we Failed, we have to try again and again...

Most importantly, need to believe that I CAN and WILL make my dreams come true, and reach Success that belongs to me by DIVINE RIGHT!
