An empowerment program for overseas Filipinos, the Ateneo Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship (ALSE) Training Program spearheaded by the Consortium on Migration  and Development will hold an orientation seminar on Sunday,  March 3, 2019  at Migrant Empowerment    Resource  Center (MERC), 12/F Euro Trade Centre 21-23 Des Voeux Road, Central, Hong Kong from 9:30 am –  4:30 pm.

(SEDPI) and several  government institutions, the Philippine Consulate HK, the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO HK),  and the  Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA HK).  The ALSE course  in Hong Kong is organized and  coordinated by  WIMLER HK and Alumni Association of the Ateneo  Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship HK (AAALSE-HK).
