The Arab Gulf Program for Development (AGFUND) is planning to establish a micro-finance bank in the Philippines soon.
AGFUND President Prince Talal said this during an exclusive interview with Arab News.
He said Filipino expatriates have been working alongside Saudis with sincerity and dedication.
Prince Talal pointed out that the offer of assistance through AGFUND was a token of appreciation to acknowledge the contribution of the Filipinos. “The Philippines is a country that gives before it takes,” Prince Talal said, lauding the efforts of thousands of Filipino workers in the Kingdom.
The prince said that he will be visiting the Philippines in January to follow up on the proposal of establishing a micro-finance bank. The initiative is timely especially in the wake of the recent typhoon that has devastated many parts of the country.
The interview with Arab News will be aired on ABS-CBN TV as part of a special coverage on Prince Talal’s humanitarian gesture.
Prince Talal spoke about helping the Filipino community in the Kingdom by building a school.
"Filipinos speak English; they are hard workers, they richly deserve the jobs that they do,” he said.
Prince Talal welcomed the idea of admitting Filipino students in the Open University under the AGFUND program and asked the university officials to pursue the matter.
Prince Talal announced two days ago that AGFUND would donate $100,000 in relief to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the central Philippines.
The donation is the first from the Gulf to the victims of one of the world’s worst catastrophes, which has killed more than 10,000 people.
The prince said the donation was in support of relief efforts and humanitarian aid in the Philippines. He said the donation comes as an extension of AGFUND’s humanitarian activities in alleviating the suffering of disaster victims, especially children, women and the elderly.
The donation will be channeled to the Philippine government, the statement said. Haiyan, codenamed Yolanda by Philippine meteorologists, has left thousands of people dead and injured and has rendered tens of thousands homeless, in addition to causing extensive damage to property on islands along its path. Various NGOs and OFW groups urged Filipino communities abroad to raise funds for the affected.

Descriptive Essay On 'Normal' By Jason Neri

...Chuckie off at daycare. The food smelt good I munched down like a viking celebrating a victory. I finished fast, I didn’t even know I was this hungry. Michael just sat there looking at his plate, while Chuckie got cereal and milk everywhere. “Alright Antonia we have to get going they made this meeting very early, I trust you can prepare and get on the bus.” “Of course I can.” “Alright we’ll be back before you get home, have a nice day at school.” “Thanks mom,” I get up and put my plate in the sink. Mom gets up not too long after, with Michael, and Chuckie following. They open the door, and leave, which leaves me all alone for the next 15 minutes. I start getting ready. “ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz.” “Jasmine!” “ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzz” “Jasmine get out of bed now!” “ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz.” “Jasmine Luther it is time to get up!” She goes over and rips the blanket off me. “Ugh fine I’m getting up,” I slowly get up. I left my fan on so I could feel a cold breeze brush by my shoulders. “Come on you’re going to be late for school! And you slept in your clothes!” “Guess I’m gonna have to stay in them if I want to get to schools on time,” I smirk. “Fine.... Just get ready.” I jump right off my bed and storm towards the bathroom. Who needs breakfast anyway? After I get ready I run out the door waving to mom as I reach the gate. It opens up and the bus is right there. I start running on the grass outside my house it isn’t even so I gains some speed. The last kid is about to get on the bus, I roll into...

Health for Youths

...Time to get ready for bed!" someone calls from the other room. Oh, no! You're really into the great book you're reading or that computer game that you're winning."Why do I have to go to bed?" you ask. "Sleep is boring, and I'm not even tired!"But sleep is more important than you may think. Maybe you can think of a time when you didn't get enough sleep. That heavy, groggy feeling is awful and, when you feel that way, you're not at your best. So if you're not too tired, let's talk about sleep. Why You Need Sleep The average kid has a busy day. There's school, taking care of your pets, running around with friends, going to sports practice or other activities, and doing your homework. Phew! It's tiring just writing it all down. By the end of the day, your body needs a break. Sleep allows your body to rest for the next day. Everything that's alive needs sleep to survive. Even your dog or cat curls up for naps. Animals sleep for the same reason you do — to give your body a tiny vacation. Your Brain Needs Zzzzzs Not only is sleep necessary for your body, it's important for your brain, too. Though no one is exactly sure what work the brain does when you're asleep, some scientists think that the brain sorts through and stores information, replaces chemicals, and solves problems while you snooze. ...
