On October 2, 2009, a book turnover was held at Barangay Kias in Baguio City. The event was spearheaded by Mrs. Carmen Balajadia, Dr. Lanie Balajadia Ines, and Mrs. Lilia Saturnino of SOROPTIMIST INTERNATIONAL OF BAGUIO CITY, a group of professional women advocating the improvement of the lives of women and girls. This group is building the Reading Center at Barangay Kias and its members will be conducting reading sessions to the kids in the community.
De La Salle University Lipa (DLSL) had informed Pusong Pinoy that the center needed 1,000 children's books. To date, 200 books donated by Pusong Pinoy were turned over to Barangay Kias which was the highlight of the event. Representing Pusong Pinoy during this event were Baguio Team Leader Adi Lappao and Ning Doble, PP Liason for DLSL. Barangay Captain Timothy Pudlao was very happy with the donation and Mrs. Ariza, Kindergarten Teacher, promised to help care for the books.
Pusong Pinoy needs your help! Barangay Kias needs 800 more children's books. We need your donations of gently-used children's books so we can make this project a success! For information about book donations, please contact the team leader in your area or email bingmp@yahoo.com. Thank you!
