LIVELIHOOD SEMINARS

Blue Manila has launched its first Livelihood seminar in April 26, 2008 and every 3rd quarter of every year thereafter. This is for the benefit of our crews' dependents which is dedicated to help empower their lives by:

1. Imparting new knowledge
2. Enhancing their entrepreneurial skills
3. Educate dependents on ways & means to augment family Income.
4. Foster camaraderie among seafarer's dependents and open avenues for support groups.

Among the seminars conducted were: Candle, Jewelry, Soap, Balloon Making & decorations, Perfumery, Basic Massage Therapy, Baking, Ham, Meat Processing, Chocolate Making and including lectures on Emergency & Securing the Home as well as Marriage & Family.

We are happy to note that the some of the dependents ventured into small/home based business using knowledge and skills learned from the livelihood seminars.
