Many of us think that if she or he is an OFW, They will say….”Ahhh she/he is already rich now and also her/his family as well.” We easily say that without thinking the hardships an OFW experiencing when he is away from home. The money they earn from abroad can’t bring back the days and years passed that he should be with his family.He never attended any special   occasions likebaptism,birthdays,Christmas, New Year and even the graduation of his children.

All of these are the sacrifices of an OFW in exchange of earning money just to provide a good life for his family.

So if you know someone who is an OFW,you will no longer think the dollars he earn but a hero not just for his own family but also for his nation as well.
