“I moved to Saudi because I wanted to grow my career and everyone knew that Saudi was the place for that in the early days… but when I moved in 1999, it was an obstacle for me because my family stayed in Bangladesh, I did not know how to cope with the culture, climate, and especially the language. I did not know how to communicate with people because many did not want to speak in English at that time. With ALBAIK, not only did I learn how to speak Arabic proficiently now, I have grown to become a Junior Operations Coach in training (responsible for supervising 3 different restaurants in the area), but also to be able to open my own business in Bangladesh. I setup my own fish, chicken and vegetable farms to sell local goods, and was able to build a big, comfortable house for my family to live in. I am happy because I know that they are living a very comfortable life now.”
