My name is Jacklyn Bausista Aledia, and I have worked at BIS Abu Dhabi as a Bus Monitor and Clinic Assistant for three years.

I was born in the capital of Manila Philippines in 1980. I love the colour purple and one of my favourite hobbies is cooking; I especially enjoy making Filipino dishes. I have two siblings, and I am also a proud and happy mother of three; two sons and one daughter.

I studied Computer Science before deciding to move to the UAE. When I first arrived, I worked in an office for five years, where my tasks included assisting with paperwork, cleaning, and making tea and coffee.

I went on to become a teaching assistant at another school for two years. I then joined BIS Abu Dhabi. I was thankful to have got the job, and being here has given me the opportunity to enhance my abilities and realise what I am capable of.

I am forever grateful for all the blessings I have been given, and being part of the BIS Abu Dhabi family is one of the biggest blessing that I have received.

There is this saying that I always believe; "Do everything with a good heart, expect nothing in return and you will never be disappointed..."

Keane on the piano and Mr. Quigley orchestrating away. This heartfelt performance highlighted the spirit of collaboration and hope for a brighter future for children everywhere.
