Bahrain's PM donates to Bukidnon High School
8/27/2011
BAHRAIN – Poor Filipinos have long been benefiting from the generosity of Sheik Khalifa Salman bin Al-Khalife, the prime minister of Bahrain.
Whenever the country faces a calamity like typhoon Ondoy, the prime minister is always on the list of foreign donors helping the country.
Recently, he responded to the request of a sick teacher in Bukidnon High School in Malaybalay.
Sarah Querol has been teaching for 32 years in Bukidnon.
Most of her students belong to cultural minorities and lack knowledge on new technology.
Querol said she just read on the newspaper that Sheikh Khalifa helps the poor.
Although it was a long shot, Querol still sent him a handwritten letter requesting for a DVD set and a computer. She never expected that her small wish would come true.
Students and faculty members of the Bukidnon High School were so happy with the donation they received from the prime minister.
Sheikh Khalifa also helped in the medication of Querol when he heard that the teacher is suffering from hypertension.
He hopes to one day visit the school to personally meet Querol and her students.
Prince Khalifa admitted having a soft spot for Filipinos because his house help and the nannies of his grandchildren are all Filipinos.
He even introduced to the news team 2 of his grandchildren who can speak a little Tagalog and Ilocano.
