Being a first timer, I was confused. When I asked her where was her money, she told me, she spent all of them 'helping' others. Now, she could not go home: her house is occupied by her children's families who could barely meet their daily needs. Obviously, she could not buy a ticket home. - "I thought, my work would be 'forever'. All my three employers died, one by one through the years, and now, I don't have a job." She tearfully revealed.
She also joined countless networking 'businesses' in Italy, but all she got now are the bottles of capsules and long lists of her down-line. The promise of getting rich never materialized. She also showed some receipts paid for the condo she failed to continue paying.
When I went around to some other parts of Europe, like, Belgium, Holland and France, the stories aren't so different: stressed from unrealistic expectation of the families back home, hard work and no true investment for themselves. - They woke up one day, the sun has already set for them....
I went back home, like the 60% of the of the OFW, without sacks of money. But I brought two things more valuable than euros and pastas: it's the wealth of truth behind the extravagant posts and smiles of OFW's on FB and a genuine and honest solution to the cure of the inherent poverty, which little by little I have already started sharing in this site.
