In this episode of Min Hon: Stories That Belong, Renalou — a migrant worker from the Philippines who has lived and worked in Jordan for the past 18 years — sits down with Jeromel, a teacher at King’s Academy in Amman and the son of a migrant worker.
Together, they reflect on their personal journeys: Renalou as a mother navigating the challenges of migration, and Jeromel as a child who grew up witnessing his mother’s sacrifices abroad. Their conversation explores the realities of migrant labor, the impact on families, and the lessons of resilience, dignity, and love that shape community building in Jordan.
