For a long time, African domestic workers in the Middle East been subjected to slavery and cruelty by their employers. We often hear and see heartbreaking and horrifying stories of ladies being raped, beaten and subjected to all beastly acts in the Middle East countries as they seek to make a living and help their families back home. But one Arab woman from Qatar, has warmed up the hearts of Africans, especially Kenyans and indeed the world by buying a newspaper advertising space and appreciated her Kenyan nanny as her two years in Qatar is coming to an end.

Mariam al Rashdi placed an advert in the Gulf Times Community newspaper appreciating Elizabeth Kamoca for taking care of her son who is suffering from Autism, a mental condition, present from early childhood, characterized by difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with other people and in using language and abstract concepts
"This is a note from me, as a mother of a young man with special needs to say thanks for being an angel that God sent to help my son and support him. Thanks for loving him, accepting him, understanding him, and help him develop by teaching him. I am sure Kenya and the entire world will be proud of you one day. God will reward you for taking the best care of my son," Mariam said in the advert.
Kenyans in Qatar were so moved that they created a Facebook page named Elizabeth and Karim and showered praise on the family and the nanny for being kind to each other.

When Mariam Al Rashdi’s son Karim was diagnosed with autism, it took her years to find him the appropriate support and care. Now, the Omani mother of five has set up her own center in Qatar for children with special needs – complete with field trips to popular Doha attractions.
"It is time for a change (in society),” she told Doha News during a recent interview. “It is no longer acceptable to hide children away. Things are changing and we will be part of that.". Photos below..

When idle people camp up on cheap gossip websites from Kenya and then post it on nairaland, it means the "news" is found only on those sleazy websites and nairaland ,primarily for audiences that cannot glean fact from fantasy. Most kenyans no doubt have no idea that there exist people on NL who wish to smear their citizens' good name, and they don't care either. You only get to hear what you want as they say. If you look for a tiger, you shall surely find one.
More to the point - the domestic help industry thrives in the gulf countries and is a major employer of young women from asian and african countries. Filipino maids feature prominently as they are considered a trustworthy nationality, as are kenyans.

And she has successfully exposed it to the world that the girl is a house girl in Arab land.

this is very good.

she is obviously one of the 'enlightened' muslims in that country, she looks like she works in an office from the pic, we can also see part of her hair, she lets his son come to contact with a non-muslim of a different gender, she even knows english which means she probably whent to western style school system...

If it was the kind of women from that country that arent allowed to drive, cant come to contact with people of oposite sex, there is nothing that that maid would have done that would have pleased her master... anything she did would have been taken as a service which the master deserves, she wouldnt have been told goodluck one day you will become something bigger, she would have been told you have served me, now let me give your passport to my friend so she can take you to another family and continue bieng a servant

Cool. She should re new her contract if the lady Is nice

Jd

Nice. She really appreciates her the lady.

African!
I bet u,

Not a Nigerian.

Nigerian maids be like "madam abeg give me the money way u wan use do advert"........

Kenya

hmm,i fear those places ohh,no good human record.dat Na second Libya.

Maybe one day we Africans will stop being slaves to other people and be masters of ourselves

While naija women (edo babes) are going to italy for prostitution, kenyan women are busy going to UAE for slavery. Africa SMH

This is very commendable

Nice one madame
