Sri Lankan migrant workers. About 4,000 stranded migrants from countries unable to help their nationals flee the conflict in Lebanon have been assisted by IOM using funds provided by the European Commission and the United States government.
Expecting and nursing mothers require social protection but workers in the informal economy are often not covered. Maternity protection has been a primary concern of the ILO since its creation in 1919. Workplace support for mothers who are breastfeeding has been a basic provision of maternity protection.
The Philippines expanded maternity leave benefits in 2019 to align with international labour standards. The ILO also promoted exclusive breastfeeding in the workplace to advance women’s rights to maternity protection and to improve nutrition security for Filipino children.

I hesitated posting this photo as it was taken in low light and is largely cropped. However, it still clearly reveals the physical differences between a drone (my two previous posts) and a worker honey bee :)

HISTORY
(Pictures you can see by clicking on the link at the end of the page!)
Church and monastery were built by Father Anton Maria Schwartz as first branch of the by him foundet Kalsantiner congregation (Congregazione degli Operai Cristiani di San Giuseppe Calasanzio) for create another center of his apostolate of workers and apprentices. The consecration of the building site situated in a rural location and the laying of the foundation stone took place on 15 September, 1896.
Construction began in the spring of 1897 according to plans by architect Ignaz Drapala under construction director Josef Schandl. Estimated construction cost: 70,000 guilders. In June 1897, the tower was completed and the consecration of the tower cross could be made. On 17 August 1897 were raised donated three bells and the next day for the first time rung. End of August 1897, the church was completed. Donations enabled the establishment of the church. In September, the altars were erected and the church windows inserted. Furthermore, the movement has been delivered and the dials of the church clock mounted on three sides of the tower .
The new church was on 24 October 1897 consecrated by the archbishop and general vicar Eduard Angerer "in honor of the St. Joseph the Adoptive Father and St. Joseph Calasanctius". 1898 then again, could due to donations a Way of the Cross for the church, a Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart Statue and the Pieta and the crib (supplemented Christmas 1902) be purchased. Pieta and crib are still existing today.
To the Christmas 1900, the church received after various emergency instruments an organ from the Vienna Orgelbauanstalt (organ building institute) Swoboda & Brauner, Op. 78, 9 speaking stops, 2 manuals and pedal. From later records is indicated that this organ underwent changes in 1920 and 1928 (?). It was rebuilt by the company Kauffmann.
1912 was a structural extension of the church space to the west. In 1918, due to the war were confiscated the bells and organ pipes.
In July 1919, the repainting of the church was started by the academic painters Kastner (uncle and nephew ) and by the decorative painter Wodicka the church walls and ceiling of the presbytery furbishing with paintings according to Biblical scenes (the life of St. Joseph) in the style of the Nazarener ( the consecration took place on 4 December by 1921 prelate Sedlacek in presence of Pater General Anton Maria Schwartz). The costs amounted to 300,000 crowns.
During this period, the altars were re-gilded and statues and the Stations of the Cross restored. In addition, the north wall had to be reorganized due to moisture damage.
1923 again two new bells could be acquired, which were consecrated by Bishop Dr. Kamprath. In 1935, the monastery church became a parish church .
The bomb hit on 4 April 1945 destroyed the interior of the church, furthermore, the organ and all furnishings except for the statues of St. Joseph and St. Anthony as well as the Pieta. The reconstruction was begun by city builder and architect engineer Josef Wöber and architect Anton Lorenz in June/July 1945. The total cost of the renovation after 1945 amounted just under 120,000, - Schillings. In the course of the rebuilding the church received the of oak wood assembled coffered ceiling as well as the side altarpieces "Mary, Help of Christians" and "St. Joseph Calasanz". In April 1947, new pews were installed. The new Stations of the Cross were completed in 1948. 1950 received the Marian altar a new glass window.
On 21 December 1952, the by organ builder Kauffmann newly erected organ for which about 20% of the material of the old organ pipes could be used has been consecrated by Father General Franz Stiletz. The apse wall was painted with depictions of angels in 1953. In 1954 the windows were manufactured and used for the choir loft. With the consecration of three new - this very day, still sounding - Bells ("Joseph" - "Angelus" - and "Mary" bell) 29 April 1956 by prelate Joseph Wagner was happening a provisional completion of construction activities. In the summer of 1968 were the with conglomerate stone slabs provided communion rail and the two massive ambones and the high altar, which was replaced by a people's altar in the course of the liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council removed.
In May 1970, an oil-fired warm air heating system was installed. The painting of the sanctuary took place in spring 1977.
1984, again was made a re-draining of wet walls by installing an osmosis-drying plant, but it did not bring the expected success.
In the same year the church received a new organ from the organ building workshop Friedrich Heftner, Krems, which made it necessary the under the center of the organ loft situated outputs of the hot air heating on the side of the gallery to move. The organ was on the eve of the feast of Christ the King, Saturday 24, 1984, by Archbishop Dr. Franz Jachym in a solemn prayer service followed by a concert organ (Elfriede Stadlmann, titular organist of St. Anna Baumgarten), consecrated.
A renovation of the church facade was made in 1985. In the interior, there was a change in 1985: the existing ordinary people altar was replaced by a slightly more high-quality one from the parent church. The years 1995 and 1996 brought after long intensive deliberations the long since become necessary extensive refurbishment of the Church: The drainage of the north and east walls through wall perforation and insertion of insulation plastic plates, after the removal of the old heating an underfloor heating has been installed. There were also changes in the presbytery the altar tables of the two side altars being replaced by brackets and a modification to the altar steps system in the original form was made; the design of the walls and a new facility - mostly from pear wood, partially gilt and of marble stone (baptismal font and altar plate) - designed by Thomas Resetarits, the restoration of the statue of St. Joseph by Leopold Pfisterer, and the general cleaning of the organ. The under Father P. Joseph Schmutz in 1968 acquired five glass chandeliers were refurbished and by a further luster faithfully supplemented (Helmut Scheer). Furthermore, the of the Heritage Office as worthy of preservation qualified nave tiles were before digging in the earth carefully removed, purified, and faithfully re-laid.
The total cost of the renovation amounted to 4.9 million Schillings.
On 15 September 1996 - exactly 100 years after the groundbreaking ceremony - the "new" church was opened in the solemn consecration of the altar fair with Vicar Bishop Dr. Anton Berger.
During the summer months of 2001 the bell tower and facade of the church was renovated attaching according to the original draft the words "Ite ad Joseph" ("Go to Joseph").
The although from the street not visible but highly in need of renovation rear facade of the church was renovated in the fall of 2005.
In Advent 2007, the damaged roofing of the tower was renewed. The newly gilded tower cross was attached and on Sunday, "Gaudete", on 16 December 2007, solemnly consecrated. On the occasion of the jubilee year "10 years of beatification" of Father Anton Maria Schwartz, a niche was exposed for the erection of a memorial next to the right side of the altar. On Sunday, the 21 October 2008, this "Father Schwartz niche" and the commissioned painting with the portrait of the Beatified was during a festive worship by Pastor Eric P. Bernard consecrated.

If I was to pick the worst job in the world I have ever witnessed, it would be without doubt this one.
Firstly these workers extract the sulphur from active volcano and brake into pieces. They do this with minimum protection, and gases at the bottom of the rim make it very difficult to breathe. Then they carry the load of as much as 90kg to the top of the rip (about 200 meters) and then several kilometers down the mountain. They make this journey two or three times a day and earn on average of us$5 a day.
Bear that in mind next time you gonna complain about your job.
