After failing to get a job in Kenya, Edward Gathungu left for Saudi Arabia last year when he got an offer to work as a chef at a hotel in the Middle East kingdom.

Soon after settling down in the Gulf, it became routine for Gathungu to call his wife and two children aged eight and five on a daily basis to bond over the day's events.
