ABOUT US
Last update: April 17, 2011
Roslin Orphanage is located in West Timor, about 10 minutes from “Eltari Airport” in Kupang City. Founded by Budi and Peggy, officially opened by the Nusa Tenggara Timur province governor on March 6, 2002.
Budi is a pilot with Singapore airlines and Peggy was an air stewardess with Garuda for 9 years then a house wife and now as the care taker and manager for the orphanage.
Our togetherness is the main strength and we are trying to maintain this togetherness throughout and to all of the children. It is our strong sense of belonging to the place and to each other that matter most to us.
Roslin orphanage is trying its best to help to shape up the children's future by giving them as much education as possible. After the children are finished with their schooling (hopefuly all able to graduate from the university) the orphanage will return them to their own people hoping that they will build their own home town and their own people. Roslin Orphanage is not giving any children for an adoption.
The name Roslin was being formed by combining two Timorese grandma's names who were giving good advices to Peggy when she was a little girl. Both of them were advising Peggy what’s good to be done and how to be a better person in life. Good values were passed to her and we think that it is a good way to remember them both by combining their names in the orphanage's name. From Grandma Rosalind and grandma Violin the name Roslin was formed.Children, Staff, and Facilities
As of April 2011 we are having 70 children which majority of them are under 10 years old and they have been living at the orphanage since they are “days old babies”. The youngest child is 6 months old and the oldest is 21 years old and his name is Gerson. He is currently studying at the Medical School semester 6th.
We are having 5 people to assist us on looking after the orphanage day to day activities. Two people for looking after the babies, two persons as drivers and one person that has been with us for the last 17 years to over look the progress and making sure that everyone are taking its part of their duties. The rest of the routines are being conducted by the older orphanage children helping the little ones. The little ones are not only observing, but also learning in the form of working along with the older ones as their efforts to be self sufficient and independent to them self in the later years. All of the management and decision making are based on their inputs and decided by my wife and myself.
The orphanage size is 11,150 m2. Inside the compound we have 8 buildings and 4 more building to be built in the future.Our Farm
Roslin orphanage has been self sufficient on rice since April 2008.
40 km (25 miles) away from the orphanage is our rice field which is about 20,000 m2 (5 acres) with more land to be cleared next to it of 60,000 m2 (15 acres). There are two more rice fields but at a different locations. For further development we will need a good land clearing machine if possible. The newly made banana farm is 25,000 m2 (6 acres) which is about 3 km (2 miles) away from the rice field.
In the next few months we will have our newly made banana farm capable of supporting the orphanage on teaching the children more about farming and at the same time to produce food source and even making some income when we are selling the banana to the public. For this farm we need some help for obtaining the small bulldozer which hopefully can be rented locally. So far we have been doing it by means of manual labour which not only slow but we have been often hurts on dealing with the sharp thorny trees upon clearing the farm land.
More Buildings in the Future
When we have completed building the girl’s dorm we will have more children joining the orphanage and may be up to 100 children in total in the next 6 months. It was the space that was limiting us from having more children at Roslin Orphanage. This is also possible because now we are having our own water source at the orphanage’s ground. By having our own water we will be able to plant more veggies and others just to fulfil our need in food and vitamins from the organic plantations.
By end of May 2011, 3 girls will be finished with their high school schooling and they want to continue to study at the nursing school. In Timor both doctors and nurses are so limited on its number. We need more medical related people to be serving this area.By the end of the year, Roslin orphanage will be having a kindergarten to run. Currently there isn’t any kindergarten within at least 5 km radius near the orphanage. Without passing through the kindergarten it will be harder for the children to cope with the elementary schooling. We are planning to start building this kindergarten as early as May or June this year. Please join us for this effort if you can.
In the future we are planning to build a medical clinic to serve the community in the health matter. May be when Gerson has completed his medical schooling we will already having this planned clinic.
Visit us for your School project?
If you are planning to visit us for your school project or a social project of your office as a social responsibility program, please do so. We can facilitate all the required programs on programs such as activities with the orphanage and the orphanage’s children, we can involve you with the village people on farming, mechanical building, education for the villagers, health enhancement to the village people and having classes for the people in enriching their knowledge on any aspects in the society.
It will be good if I can be there with you during my annual leave or my off days but without me , my wife , Peggy will be able to handle all of the maters accordingly. Just let us know in advance about your objectives of the trip and we will do our best to facilitate and to make sure that we have a good coordination without any miss understanding about the main purpose or the essence of the trip.

Dear Miss Shirlyn,
Thank you for your kindness. The address for the orphanage is as what the address on the "about us"'s page.
My address in Singapore is , Laguna Green , 20 jalan Hajijah # 03-11 , Singapore 468726
It will be best if one day you can give your love gifts to the children directly in West Timor.
Have a blessed day.
Budi and family
Dear Miss Asrina,
Thank you for your kindness . The books will be very valuable to the children's library section. You may pass them to me and I will bring them timely . I will be leaving on August 21st to the orphanage for 10 days.
Thank you very much.
Budi and family
Dear Budi,
What a wonderful job you have done! Would certainly like to visit the ophanage oneday and provide physical and monetary assistance.
Do you have any pictures of children to adopt? Would love to help out. Thanks!
God Bless!
Dear Miss Sarah,
Thank you for your willingness to help out. When were starting the orphanage we didn't have any idea at all about giving the children away for an adoption. We love the children so much. But as our goal has been the happiness of the children we are thinking more openly. If the happiness is mean to be an adoption let be it . Even though we do not know anything at all about the procedure and loving them so much like our own kids. The procedure can be quite hard as there has been a recent case of an adoption by a people from EU country which led into a court case . " If I am not mistaken" , the people who wants to adopt must be living in Indonesia for at least 2 years and other things may be.
Our intention is still the same , that is to look after them and to send them to school till at least high school and to the university for those who are having the potential to do so. After that we will send them to their home town ( family if they have) and without having the need to pay us back or working for us . Their happiness and success in life is our prime goal. If they are coming back to help is a bonus for the orphanage . Regards.

Dear Pak Budi dan Mama Peggy,
Kami sekeluarga berkeinginan untuk berbagi kasih dengan anak-anak di panti asuhan, berupa bantuan pendidikan.
Kami melihat foto anak-anak di blog sebelumnya, dan tidak bisa menemukannya di blog kembali. Kebetulan saya sempat print dalam bentuk pdf.
Ada bisa dimungkinkan kami berbagi kasih, dengan biaya per bulan/semester untuk pendidikan untuk 1 orang anak didik : Lodiana Tanono
Dan juga untuk kebutuhan gizi,susu dll untuk Paulina Dovee Bupe.
Mohon maaf sekira ini berkenan, namun kami juga mohon pencerahan apabila ada putra-putri yang lebih membutuhkannya.
Mudah-mudahan kami berkesempatan berkunjung ke panti asuhan, karena putra kami mempunyai darah didaerah sana, sekalian kami bisa mengunjungi tempat nenek moyangnya.
Salam Kasih Tuhan,
Hi Pak Budi,
I just got back home from Treasures Women Conference "Love Never Fails' by JPCC at Senayan City. I went straight to my work desk and watched you again on YouTube and I was touched and speechless by your story and testimony and how God's love is truly seen in your family and your life. You and Ibu Peggy instantly became my inspiration and my role models. I have been married for 2 years now, and listening to your story made me realize that true marriage is also built by a hard work and a praying wife. Your wife is truly the epitome of a woman as describe in Proverbs 31. I admire your team work as husband and wife and it has encouraged me tremendously in my own marriage. For that matter, I thank you. I pray that you and your wife and children will always win in life with God. Reach more souls and make this world (especially our beloved country Indonesia) a better place. We support you and hopefully we will have the privilege of having you be our pilot when we fly with SQ to the States. That would be awesome :)
Blessings,
Tabby Cockrell
Hello Captain Budi
We have some baby and children clothings and toys to donate, where can we mail to?
Hello! I am dora and I'm 16years old, living in Singapore and today I have sorted out my books and wanted to give these books to the children there, but I have no idea how to. So can you please contact me through my email because I am clueless! Haha! Thank you, I will be anticipating for your reply:) I really want them to have my precious books because I believe they will treasure them more than I do, so please reply me!!:)
Hi CaptainB,
This is from James from Singapore.
The purpose of this comment is to find out from you if your Orphanage accepts donations of used Toys, books for children, and reusable items for children (still in good condition)?
We are a small group of people, strongly believe in unconditional love through sharing and giving. We often will have used toys given to the less fortunate. Throwing them away is a big waste.
However, we are not charity group. We do this from our heart. So we will want to extend this opportunity to your Orphanage.
Let me know if your Orphanage accepts those items?
Feel free to call me if there is any doubt!
Thank you!

Dear Ms Julie and friends
Toys are great for the children.
Thank you

Dear Capt Budi
I have quite a handful of soft toys to be given away to the kids. In fact, most of them are new. Can these be donated? How can I pass to you in Singapore?
Regards
Catherine
Hi Budi, how are you? It is inspiring to see you putting your care into action, and I would like to see how I can help.
I am able to collect used clothing (children and adults, not torn) which are wearable, and stationery and gift items (like picture frames, souvenirs etc), toys, books, other household items etc, some new some used, but all are usable and none is damaged. And I think it will be nice if they could benefit the children or young teenagers or adults in Roslin Orphanage.
If they can be of help, please let me know and I can arrange direct shipping from Singapore.
Dear pak Budi,
anak-anak yang asuh adalah anak-anak yang paling beruntung dipertemukan dengan anda dan keluarga. Jujur saya sangat tersentuh dengan tayangan bapak di Kick Andy-Metro TV. Ingin sekali saya membantu anda sekeluarga, saya hanya punya tenaga dan kasih. apakah kesempatan itu ada? Jika ada saya ingin sekali membantu roslin orp. membesarkan anak-anak... Semoga Tuhan Yesus senantiasa memberikan kekuatan kepada anda, Ibu Peggy dan keluarga dalam membesarkan mereka... Tuhan berkati !
Dear Budi, Peggy and family,
I would like to donate a month of my life to your orphanage. I work with Four Seasons the hotel group so I can help with teaching little tricks for your Hotel, I can give english classes, I can help with pretty much anything.
My idea would be to stay at you Hotel pay for may stay and work with you during the day.
Do you think this is feasible? Is there any specific time frame that would be convenient?
I look forward to hearing from you.
All the best
Mariana

Yang paling kita butuhkan adalah cinta kasih terhadap anak anak
Dear CaptainB,
I have children's clothes to donate but some of these are winter clothes. Would you want these winter clothes? If not, would you know of any other organisations that might need them? Thanks
Hi, I'm Cpt Budi's daughter, the winter clothes are very useful for the kids there perhaps ranging from ages 0 - 18, we usually take the kids on trips to mountainous areas, and it gets very cold at night during the raining season, they usually jsut curl up in a ball in the car rides cause its so cold. even if the winter clothes wont fit my mother usually drops off bags of clothing for some of the villages that cars can't reach , very deep in the mountain villages, and the temperature drops till about 14 to 15 degrees. so any form of donation is useful to us and it will definitely be put to use.

Hi Capt Budi
We chanced upon your website and find your cause is very meaningful. As we have kept many children's books, clothings (from baby to 4years old) and toys which we wanted to donate to these children. Can we pass these items to you in Singapore address at 9 Rhu Cross, Costa Rhu , Livonia 03-05. Or, is there any other drop-off location in the east of Singapore?
Here's our email for further contact at ilnkk09@gmail.com
Hi Budi
I chanced upon your website and am very touched by both you and your wife, Peggy's love to these little ones. As i have the intention to pass some baby/children clothings, toys and books to a local charity, i would like to pass them to you instead. Is your Singapore address still valid - Costa Rhu - Livonia? I hope to hear from you.
Have a blessed day.
Best Regards
