MAGANDANG araw po Aksyon Line, ako po si Anna Santos, 18 years old taga-Mandaluyong City po. Nais ko po sanang makakuha ng scholarship sa OWWA. Kakatapos ko lang po mag-senior high school. Nais ko po sanang kumuha ng kursong Education. Ang nanay ko po ay nagtatrabaho sa Riyadh, Saudi Arabia habang ang tatay ko po ay iniwan kami noong 10-taong-gulang pa lang po ako.
Hindi po sapat para tustusan ng aking nanay ang pag-aaral ko. Tatlo po kaming magkaka-patid, yung isa po ay nasa high school at yung isa naman po ay kinder. Napag-alaman ko po kasi na nagbibigay po ang OWWA ng scholarship sa mga anak ng OFW. Umaasa po ako sa tulong ng OWWA scho-larship para po makapag-college po ako. Sana po ay matulungan niyo po ako.
Maraming
salamat po.
