Here is a Success story of Eight Filipino Students with OFW parents in Greece who continue to beat the Greek economic crisis

The difficult economic situation in Greece has not dampened business for these eight Filipino students with ofw parents
When we read the news about the woes of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Greece such as homesickness, terrible employers or getting displaced in an internal conflict, we may easily question if going to Greece was such a sound decision after all. We left our country to look for greener pastures and not trouble.
But come to think of it, while we see fellow OFWs suffer in Greece— and we sympathize with them — many of us also reap the benefits as OFWs. We learn new things, we broaden our horizons as we contribute to the well-being of our families and our country. Here are some exciting success stories of graduated Filipino students with ofw parents, a good reasons to come to Greece.

Wow !! what a good story, dont you agree? As we adapt into our new home, we get to learn many things: language, food, customs and traditions. In the process we realize there are things we need to change within ourselves. In a nutshell, being an OFW is also like being a student, we learn many things and we’re given free hand to apply them. We, in tsismosaonline.com sent our reporter to Athens Voula College Preparatory [AVCP] to get a better understanding as to who is behind the teaching and promoting to our children. The people at this Institute of Private Instruction are responsible for having worked hard with these students so that they can achieve their rightful place as the leaders of tomorrow in our Greek and Filipino community and in the field they will be working in. Here’s what they told our reporter:

Parents work very hard for a better way of life to provide for each and every need of their child. This is especially true with Overseas Filipino Workers. They toil hard every day to make sure their family is taken care of, and they want a better future for their child. At Athens Voula College Preparatory [AVCP] we fully understand and respect the parents concern for their family and their children’s educational needs.  At AVCP we have the expertise required to fulfil the educational needs for the student of these filipino families. Our students are taught to be hard working successful leaders. AVCP graduates are equipped to become someone important. We daily instill in our students the reality of success and self-worth. We teach and expect our students to work hard in their studies and teach good moral character assisting them in becoming ‘the best they can be’.
Our track record is impeccable. Being accepted to study at AVCP gives your child the unique opportunity to be a Top-student ensuring him/her a bright future. Your friends and relatives children that graduated from AVCP have already been placed in Institutions of Higher Learning. Bachelor’s Degrees and professional careers are earned by them. These children will have access to the best paying jobs in Greece and world-wide.  Doesn’t your child deserve the same opportunity for success? AVCP prepares your student for tomorrow not with words, but with action. We strive to embed in the heart of the student the feeling of ‘worth’, the feeling of     ‘Yes I can’, ‘Yes, I will succeed’- and they do!                                                                                   Our track-record and student success stories are proof. AVCP utilizes a U.S. accredited curriculum.  The student is trained to the latest standards of U.S. education. PSAT and SAT training is standard. Through this curriculum he/she may excel and have the opportunity to study at, and receive scholarships from English speaking Institutions   of higher learning. These Colleges and Universities may be in Greece, Europe North America and etc.  Daily lessons include proper teaching of the Greek language and instruction on how to adjust to this society. As time goes by the student begins to open up and feel equal, not different. They will gain confidence, sense of accomplishment and self-worth. In this way the student can better adjust to the cultural differences, new language and the pressure of living and growing up in a different society and environment. Your student will become a socially and educationally well-balanced individual’ that Colleges and employers seek. AVCP’s new Academic Year begins on September 15th. Enroll your child in the Institute that produces ‘The Leaders of Tomorrow’.
