First Donation to Lalaan Uno Elementary School, Philippines

The first batch of children's books sent to the Philippines was donated to Elementary students of Lalaan Uno Elementary School, in Silang, Cavite, Philippines on July 6, 2016. The book donation was led by our friends and contact in the Philippines, Maricon Amon and Jayson Humarang. They are both Elementary teachers.


See the happy faces of kids in the photos.

Thank you so much to our donors!

School libraries in the Philippines don't have enough books. Books are usually outdated and damaged. Community libraries are mostly non-existent.

My colleague Maricon Alcaraz was able to gather all these books to be given to kids. Wooohooo!

On behalf of the Filipino children who would benefit from the books and cash you donated, maraming salamat po! (thank you so much!)
A friend donated money that would make shipping one balikbayan box possible. Wooohoooo! Thank you!
More books are coming and so another balikbayan box might be needed.
To all who are thinking of donating, we are still accepting donations. Thank you in advance. We are so excited!
