🐉 PADDLES DOWN, COSTUMES ON! H.A.R.D. TURNS 8! 🎉

Eight years of paddling, teamwork, friendship, and family!

For Dhela Coronel Solidad, an OFW in Bahrain for 19 years, joining Hurricane Alpha Racing Dragons (H.A.R.D.) became more than just a sport. It helped her become more active, take better care of her health, build confidence, and discover her own strength.

From a beginner, Dhela worked her way into the team’s official lineup and earned the title “Most Improved Paddler.” Her journey is a reminder that every strong paddler starts with that first stroke. 💪🐉

“We are one team and one family.” ❤️

The team celebrated its 8th Anniversary on 28 August 2026 at the Amber Hotel, bringing members, friends, and guests together for a fun night of costumes, games, music, food, and laughter.

Dr. Orville A. Ballitoc, Labor Attaché of MWO-Bahrain, joined the celebration and encouraged OFWs to stay active, prioritize their health, manage stress, and build stronger connections through sports and community activities.

The celebration also highlighted H.A.R.D.’s proud achievement of winning silver at the 6th Barcelona International Dragon Boat Festival – EuroCup 2025 in Spain, where 12 OFWs from Bahrain were part of the 16-member delegation that proudly represented the Filipino community. 🇵🇭🥈

For MWO-Bahrain, H.A.R.D. is a great reminder that staying healthy can also mean finding your people, having fun, and being part of a community that moves forward together.

One team. One family. One stroke at a time. 🐉💪🇵🇭
