Gratitudes: And Yaya goes back to school

I grew up in a family who values education. I've seen both my parents sponsor other kids in their quest to finish school. We were blessed enough that my siblings and I got various forms of scholarships that my parents were able to save enough from our tuition to send other kids to school. I didn't think that I would be given the opportunity to do the same.
One of the girls (we have 2) who help us take care of the household has been with me part-time since A and I got married back in 2009. She hails from Leyte and lives on her own here in Manila. We've taken her in full time in May. She used to be a security guard...not really trained to handle household chores. But she is very honest and loyal. I was actually surprised that she opted to work for us when I offered her to work full-time.

Our other helper is more equipped with housekeeping skills. She's been mentoring the new one. Being a TESDA-accredited housekeeper, it was through her that I've considered the thought of sending the new one to school. I recall our new one mentioned to me that she would like to work in a cruise ship. All the more that I started to think about giving her the needed skills that would help her earn more.

When I used to work for a philanthropist, who's also sponsoring people to school, I recall that one of the foundations that he supports is Punlaan School, a technical-vocational school in San Juan that's TESDA-accredited. I sent them an email to inquire about their Household Services Program.

After getting more information about it and the schedule is something our helper and I could work with, I offered the course to her. We discussed how she would be able to pay us back for the cost of the course and TESDA-accreditation exam and ended with up with a salary-deduction arrangement that would take her about 2-3 years to pay. 

On our end, I think it's a good investment for us since she will be applying her newly-found skills to our household. After rendering her service years, she would have that option to seek employment elsewhere. Hopefully, to one that would land her in a cruise ship.
