Thanksgiving activity for POLO-OWWA tenants
"TIKOB SIGMA holds thanksgiving activity for POLO-OWWA tenants" By Bench Medina
The Sigmas of Triskelion International Kingdom of Bahrain (TIKOB) successfully held another socio-civic project over the weekend at the Philippines Overseas Labor Offices/Overseas Workers Welfare Association (POLO/OWWA) grounds.
The one-day activity held last Thursday, August 13th at 7p.m.
An opening prayer led by Sis. Mahalina Peñaflor, Chairman of the Master Triskelions, started the event. Ms.Alice Lim, OWWA welfare officer, also delivered a few inspiring words for the tenants.
There are almost 50 people seeking shelter in the OWWA premises – mostly runaways - and they were all present in the thanksgiving dinner which was prepared by the TIKOB Sigma, led by Grand Lady Triskelion Angie Villanueva.
The tenants, in return, presented an entertainment number. One group performed a dance number made popular by the all-female Filipino group Sexbomb. Three of the tenants surprised everyone with their singing prowess and brief poetry session.
The food was sponsored by Montro Intercontinental Restaurant and was served by the Sigma and Triskelion Volunteers.
The thanksgiving- dinner event has been a regular project in the POLO/OWWA headed by our Tau Gamma Sigma’s together with the welfare office of the Philippine Embassy. It is one of the regular projects of TIKOB together with Pinoy Bands, Fiesta ng OWWA, and Medical Mission to name a few.
Other individual sponsors of the event included Mr. Ali Alghata, Ms. Lisa Lechgar-Ball, Mr. Mark Lazell, Ms. Ban Barkawi, Sis Mylene Asuncion and Sis Warnie Alejandro.
