New Family Business
This has indeed been a good year so far for Crysle and her family. A new nipa hut home, children going to school and a rattan basket weaving business that all family members contribute to.
Boys gather rattan from the jungle for the baskets.
Quiet and shy Kristina
This is Kristina, Crysle's 17 year old single mom sister. She has a daughter, Mary Jane who is almost a year old. My next focus will be to get some kind of job training for Kristina so she can support and send her daughter to school in the future.

Relocating to El Nido
Having spent most of this year ( while in Palawan ) working in and around Puerto Princesa, I've recently decided to relocate up to the northern part of the island to El Nido. Hopefully we will have the kids centre up and running in 2008.
About Robert
I am a Canadian living in Japan and the Philippines for more than 40 years. After surviving the tsunami in Phuket, Thailand, in December 2004, I decided it was finally time to act on a long held desire to do something for the children of the area who have less available to them in terms of health care, shelter and education. I have established a non profit organization that helps care for these needs of some children. I sincerely thank those who would like to contribute to the cause in any way, please email us at: info@rosecgi.org
