Farrah came from a family of farmer. Her Nanang and
Tatang would work hard so that her family can go to
school. The faamily’s financial was not enough for it
and they were in a pinch so their parents decided to
work on abroad but only their Nanang had the
opportunity to work on abroad. Farrah studied hard to
help her parents and when she became 46 years old,
she got married with 2 kids, a Mechanical Engineer
currently working as a Project Manager while her
brothers are CPA, teacher, and an architect that is
working on abroad.
In 2006, Jenny A and her family adopted 7 children from
as unnecessarily and can overcome many of these
labels with time and love. Time is the key and a big part
of the healing process for abused children. Jenny A and
her family have discovered the children’s special needs
and have learned how to cope and deal with their
needs. It is a challenge but it is what makes the children
who they are. If you are considering adoption or foster
care you will find that the love for a child can help you
overcome things that you never thought possible.

Successful Family Stories
Poverty has always been one of the issues that hinder
most people from taking the leap towards something,
but for Rebecca Bustamante, this was her motivation,
something that shaped her to become who she currently
is now today. Before she became the CEO of a
renowned company, she was a vendor and a domestic
helper who struggled and strived hard in order to fend
for her family. As a child, she had to work as an unpaid
servant in exchange for food and the money she needed
for school .At 19, Bustamante moved to Singapore
where she worked as a domestic helper for three years.
In between her work schedule, she studied Accounting
at the Open University of Singapore Institute of
Management, where she finished her undergraduate
program without any of her employers being aware of it.
