Sajaya Hair

I am an overseas worker. I am halfway round the world, away from my family and friends. If only there are enough jobs readily available for an IT graduate like me in my country, I don’t need to be in this very strange place anymore. But well, I am given no choice. If I want to give my family a better life, I need to try my luck in this place where they say nothing is possible.

Since I came here, I always suffer homesickness. I would always find myself staring at the ceiling in the middle of the night, thinking about my family and my country. Don’t get me wrong but I am really worried about the current situation of my country. Peace and order is very dim. I always worry that something might happen that could affect my family adversely.

That is why I keep in touch all the time. If not through Skype or social networking, I always see to it that I am aware of what is currently happing in my hometown. I read about World Current Events, and look for my country specifically. I read about my government and other civil society activities. This keeps my mind at peace, as if I am just a block away from home.
