| Brooks Robertson |
 Brooks Robertson and his wife Nancy established The Grace Children’s Foundation (TGCF) in 1997. They were inspired by their daughter Grace who they had adopted in Shanghai, China in 1994. Their goal was to provide sustainable, medical care, education and vocational opportunities and humanitarian aid and a means to deliver emergent and long-term care to orphaned and disadvantaged children in China. Under Nancy’s leadership and with the development of three core programs and TGCF’s Resource Exchange Center, an innovative, coordinating mechanism that delivers vital resources to children in need, the Foundation has expanded its outreach and also helped disadvantaged children in Africa, South America, Haiti and Afghanistan. Still, their passion and the roots of the Foundation remain in China. Brooks is presently working in Beijing as TGCF’s Resource Exchange Center’s China coordinator. Brooks grew up in Washington, DC where he attended St. Albans School. He went to Brown University, graduating with a degree in Political Science. In the intervening years he has worked on Capitol Hill, as a television news journalist and as a writer in New York City. |
