Ramon,
Founder and President of Safe Harbor

As a seasoned merchant with a knack for social dynamics, my journey took a unique turn, leading me to study Social Work at a university in Switzerland.

In the formative years of my youth, growing up in a youth home where support and compassion weren’t always at the forefront, I learned the value of these qualities for life’s journey. It’s precisely this personal experience that motivates me to make a positive impact in the world and advocate for those who have been denied it thus far.

During my extensive travels throughout Southeast Asia, I had the privilege of crossing paths with countless inspiring individuals, experiencing a fascinating diversity of cultures and stories. However, I didn’t just encounter inspiration and joy; I also bore witness to profound suffering. This ignited my passion to advocate for social justice. These experiences motivated me to strive for positive change in the communities I visited and beyond.

I wholeheartedly hold this conviction: within every individual, regardless of their circumstances, lie untapped reservoirs of resources and skills. This belief is firmly anchored in my personal journey, a fusion of my experiences in the world of commerce blended with my education in the field of social work. What fuels it above all is my life’s path and an enduring ardor for the very essence of humanity.

Now, as the driving force behind the ‘Safe Harbor’ organization, I am determined to leave a lasting impact. I believe that positive change begins with one person, one idea, and one community at a time.
