This picture was taken in the Philippines in 2003. This is actually my cousin preparing a freshly killed chicken for dinner - a special treat because my mom and I were visiting from the United States. My cousin lives on the same farm my mother grew up in with her family and other relatives in the Pangasinan province in the Luzon region of the Philippines. Life is hard for many of my relatives - many live in poverty. In fact, about one third of the Philippine population live under the poverty line. My husband and I hope that through Ethnic Arts & Facts we can better help my family as well as other families around the world by providing a market for their hand-made crafts and art.
