From Devastation to Hope
The Storm That Changed Everything
On November 5, 2025, Typhoon Tino struck El Nido with devastating force. Our island sanctuary on Darocotan—where untouched beaches meet thriving jungle and pristine waters—was hit hard.
The bamboo structures we built with love were torn apart. Roofs ripped away. Solar panels scattered. The jungle canopy we protected for years was shredded. Our team's homes, along with so many in our island community, were destroyed.
But here's what the storm couldn't touch: the spirit of this place. The beauty beneath the damage. The community that built this paradise together. We're not just rebuilding structures—we're rebuilding lives, dreams, and a sanctuary that means everything to the people who call it home.
Rising Stronger, Together
We're rebuilding the camp. Restoring the beaches. Bringing back the sanctuary that brought joy to so many. Every contribution helps return this place to its former glory—with full transparency, every step of the way.
When paradise returns, so does opportunity for our community. This is about restoring a special place and the people who depend on it.
