DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – She was a domestic helper in the Philippines who was only able to finish 6th grade.
Forty-four-year-old Marion Beringuel went to Dubai where she also worked as a housemaid. But she wanted to change her path.
“Napagtanto ko na maghanap naman ng ibang trabaho,” the eldest of eight children said. (I decided to look for another job.)
But due to her educational background, better employment was elusive.
So, she enrolled in a Filipino-run, UAE-accredited technical school where she was able to finish a course, attending classes on every day off.
