Our domestic worker Yaseen celebrated his birthday a day after my birthday last week. Whilst many families in South Africa and in the Kingdom experience endless domestic worker related issues, in our household the domestic workers are pretty much considered to be a part of the family. Hence to show our appreciation and gratitude to our domestic workers, we usually host a small party at home on their birthdays. Many people out there do not treat their domestic workers in a humane manner and yet it is the domestic workers who work day and night making their employers life easy. They sacrifice a lot by leaving behind their kids and family in order to make our lives easy. All they want in return is a little bit of respect, gratitude and appreciation and no doubt they deserve every bit of it.
