Butch & Anne of Batang Pinangga It was a pleasure to introduce Rosei CGI and myself to Butch and his wife Anne, who manage the group home in Carmen, Cebu. They care for 28 neglectled and abused children. Rose CGI has begun to liasion and will soon support Batang Pinaggna. A wonderful and caring couple.
Rose CGI is proud to be associated with and soon to support Golden Links College, an institution established by the Theosophical Society in the Philippines.The vision of the school is "to create an education system in which individuals can discover the core values of their lives for themselves, free from fear, coercion and prejudice. Through innovative teaching methods that respect and nurture the individuality and creativity of students, it attempts to integrate the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual aspects of their growth in a well-rounded programme. Teaching students to embrace their common humanity and to recognize their place in the web of life, the school strives to honour many faiths. It holds the conviction that individuals who are at peace with themselves will ultimately create a world at peace. In short, the school is an experiment in transformative education. http://www.theosophy.ph/goldenlinkcollege.html
In December, 2009 Tokyo Metropolis magazine published a story on Rose CGI and I, it's founder. A few mistakes but all in all a good endorsement and info on Rose CGI and our work. http://metropolis.co.jp/features/global-village/rose-colored-glasses -international/
In October and December, 2009 Rose CGI held benefit concerts to support our work in The Philippones. Both events were very successful and we look to produce more events in 2010.
I am a Canadian living and doing business in Japan, Thailand and the Philippines for many years. After surviving the tsunami in Phuket 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 realize this is but a drop in the bucket but this is my start. I wonder if it may be of interest to some to follow as I take this new path. I hope you will wish me luck. I'll need it.
I sincerely thank those who would like to contribute to the cause in any way, please email us at: rsecgi@gmail.com
