OFWs learn how to make empanada, doughnut

The making of doughnuts is demonstrated.

At least 161 OFWs are now equipped with the skills to go into the business of making empanadas and doughnuts when they return home for good.

The workers were taught how to make the delicious and saleable Filipino snacks and pastry in a free skills training offered on Oct 9 by the CARD OFW Hong Kong Foundation.

They went through the course held at Bayanihan Centre under Elpie Abel and Jhoan G. Cabudil, experts in this field who were assigned as trainors by CARD OFW Hong Kong.

The participants who had the first bite of their finished products said they were happy because their pastries tasted good.

It took the trainees just a few hours to learn the skills, and they went home delighted.

Liza Barrientos from Isabela posted in her Facebook account how happy she was after the training. She said it was her first time to attend such training. Now she has decided to attend the regular financial literacy seminar to be held on Nov. 20 also at Bayanihan Centre. – Marites Palma
