11 Videos of Khalid Al Ameri that features OFWs

Much love and God bless – the famous phrase that you can find in the outro of Khalid Al Ameri’s vlogs that continually inspire the whole world.

Born and raised in Abu Dhabi to an Emirati father and Scottish mother, Khalid credits his grounded nature to his upbringing. ‘My family comes from a very humble background. My mom and dad met in the UK where my dad was finishing his graduate studies. My mom worked in an old person’s home for a year to save up for tickets to visit Abu Dhabi,’ he says.

Fast forward to 2016, when one of his videos made the cut. Invited by CNN Abu Dhabi to do a series of videos on the misconceptions surrounding Ramadan, they went on to become instant hits – convincing Khalid ‘that this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life’.

Khalid then decided to do a series of short videos that would help spread messages about love, peace, tolerance, and acceptance – topics the common man could relate to. ‘It would be the first time an Emirati had done a show like this,’ he says. ‘I pitched it to every TV station but they all turned it down. Since I didn’t have any other choice, I took to Facebook.’

He features different nationalities in his vlog and of course Filipinos will not be left out from being on his camera, check out this 11 videos where Overseas Filipino Workers are being featured, from the Filipino Mayor in California to Jollibee and to the Gas attendant and my favorite one is the on the list:
