Remember the your first day in the UK? The mixed feeling of excitement and fear?

The feeling of loneliness and missing your family back home in the Philippines, missing the food, and just missing to hear your own language.
Having a friendly face means a lot for new comers. The emotional and moral support is vital for new comers to enable them to settle in nicely into the local community.
