Business trip to the Philippines...











In January i went to the Philippines for two weeks to visit with the partner organizations that my NGO works with. I spent time in Manila, Davao, and Cebu. It was beautiful and green there and the people are very kind and hospitable. The beach picture was taken on an island off the coast of Davao where i went snorkeling for a day off. Amazing! We spent time meeting with clients who work with the organizations to receive business training and small loans. You can see some of their products here, such as small brooms and pottery. These people are very adaptive; this man made this pottery wheel out of an old tire and wood.
