Left behind, but not forgotten Know more:
ALL does not glisten—or glitter—in foreign lands. This was the gist of the partnership between the Department of Social Welfare and Development and the Mindanao Migrants Center for Empowering Action Inc. , as they attempt to extend government social services, this time, to the distraught children of overseas Filipino workers left behind here in the Philippines, and to the OFWs themselves.
Thus, it would not surprise Filipinos that even in the government’s conditional cash transfer program for the poorest of the poor, there would be beneficiaries from even among the OFWs themselves.IN the memorandum of agreement the parties signed on May 24, the government and the Mindanao NGO pledged to work together “in extending programs and services to children of OFW parents who are Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program beneficiaries.
“Working with MMCEAI has allowed us to take a deeper look at the phenomenon of distressed OFWs and their children. We also see how our joint efforts started with rescue, and then later these evolved into other programs like rehabilitation and referral to psychosocial legal experts,” she said at the signing ceremony witnessed by teams from the regional DSWD office and some officers of OFW community organizations in Davao City.
It also has special programs for children of OFWs, called Anak OFW, to provide therapeutic activities and counselling, as well as educational assistance and further counselling and advice in the schools. She said the MMCEAI has already served or established initial contacts with more than 4,000 OFWs in distressed conditions.
