Challenges are good, because as a result of any problem, the positive reaction of people follows. Sometimes challenges form the beginning of something good, positive and diverse. Sometimes challenges unite a lot of people and create organisations, communities. It is good to know about new organisation and understand that it came from hearts of the people. This organisation is the United Filipino Irish Association.
The United Filipino Irish Association was recently created in Cork a few months ago to serve the growing Filipinio community and help all its members to cope with difficulties and challenges. There are more them 1500 Filipino nationals in Cork excluding children who number about 400. They meet several times a year in the Bishopstown GAA club. It is important also that a  Filipino counsellor comes to Cork once a month to provide Filipinio nationals with legal advice. There are some people to contact about next meeting dates, meetings with consoler and cultural events: Jackie at 087 9263272, John Storey on 086 8204977 who are all members of an officially formed committee to steer the association. Those people make huge contribution to Cork society by their involvement in different cultural celebrations and art projects such as St. Patricks day, Independence day among others, as well as their professional involvement in medical services.
