The Villar Foundation and Go Negosyo is inviting all overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and their families to attend an event that aims to teach how they can successfully venture into entrepreneurship. The 1st OFW and Family Summit 2011 is happening tomorrow, November 24 at the World Trade Center.
This one-day event will feature various speakers and lecturers offering topics on developing the entrepreneurial mindset, negosyo basics, skills training and how-tos tailored specifically to the needs of OFWs and their families.
Admission is free for all OFWs. Attendees just need to present proof that they are an OFW. Participants also get the chance to chance to win a Camella House and Lot, courtesy of the Villar Foundation.
Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) are encouraged to save and invest their hard earned money properly so they would be prepared when their work contracts expired and they need to return to the Philippines, One good way to invest money is by starting a business.
