Servants in the Nest of a Foreigner - OFW Kuwait

Just as Steve Tamayo parlayed his salary as a hotel janitor in Kuwait and became a restaurant owner and an entrepreneur, Zenaida Magno capitalized on her being an OFW and wrote a book on her life.

Magno considers a pen her best friend "especially when I am alone" and although she considers her book, entitled "Servants in the Nest of a Foreigner" as fiction, she incorporated her experiences as a domestic worker in Kuwait in it.

In an article by Arab Times, Magno said she had always written even when in high school. As housemaid for a Kuwaiti family for 12 years, she said "I used to write whenever I used to feel homesick."

A Tagalog version of Magno’s book first came out. The book, entitled "Katulong sa Pugad ng Dayuhan," first came out in 2007 and was published by Mega Books Co. and distributed by National Bookstore and Power Books. The English version is now widely circulated in Kuwait. Read the Full Story here…
