Beverly and I are here in Cebu City to help residents learn how to find successful employment (including self-employment).
Please let me introduce you to Sandy Jayme (early 30’s) from Balamban, Asturias, on the west coast of the Cebu Island, about 70 KM west of us, see map below:
She was in attendance this week at our Career Workshop and shared with us her portfolio of original handcrafted greeting cards (see samples attached) and I was very impressed.

Here is her story
Locally she is currently selling her cards for maybe 50 pesos (about $1, i.e., 1 peso=$.02) and delivers the original artwork card to the buyer. She does custom type work for friends, e.g., wedding cards, Christmas, etc. I particularly like the one attached card of a boat with very colorful sails. We recently attended a concert including the Children’s Choir and reviewed a display of Sinulog photos placed in a contest at a local mall.
