WIMLER HK Celebrates its First
Founding Anniversary
With Dance for the Kids
WIMLER HK is a non-profit, charity organization
whose primary objective is to support the capacity building and empowerment of migrant
communities and to promote cultural diversity in Hong Kong based on mutual
respect, solidarity, and shared empowerment among peoples.
A year after its
inception, WIMLER HK through the support and contributions of its donors during
the benefit dinner last April has funded the education of 135 elementary pupils
and six high school students in Mlang, North Cotabato, Bansalan Central Elementary School and M.V. Duque
Elementary School in Nueva Vizcaya.
In Hong Kong, WIMLER HK
has been actively involved in the capacity building of migrants and migrant
organizations. It collaborates with the Ateneo de Manila University School of
Government (ASoG) together with the Philippine Consulate General in Hong
Kong, Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO), Philippine Overseas Labor Office
(POLO), Overseas Workers’ Welfare Administration (OWWA), Social Enterprise
Development Partnership Inc. (SEDPI), Overseas Filipinos Society for the
Promotion of Economic Security (OFSPES),
and Project BE in conducting Leadership, Financial Literacy and
Social Entrepreneurship (LSE12). The LSE
Basic Course consists of 12 full-day sessions covering four sessions each for
Leadership, Financial Literacy and Social Entrepreneurship. Fifty-one participants,
mostly migrant domestic workers, are attending this 12 session course which started
last July.
WIMLER also works with
the Philippine Consulate, POLO, OWWA, CARD-MRI and PAHK in conducting
leadership seminar series on skills development, financial literacy, value
formation, and strategic planning for core migrant leaders. The seminar series
aim at improving the capacities of migrants and migrant organizations.
WIMLER welcomes and appreciates
individual/private corporate sponsorship to ensure success of the events. Sponsors will be acknowledged in our program, Facebook Event page, and Wimler blog.
