PUSONG PINOY'S BOOK DRIVE AT PBCA


Pusong Pinoy would like to thank the PHILIPPINE BADMINTON CLUB OF AMERICA for hosting a book drive on August 7, 2010 in Arcadia, California. A total of 659 new and gently-used children's books and 16 activity books were collected during this drive. Thanks to West Covina Team Leader DAN PASAMONTE for spearheading this event. Also present during this event were PP Founder DONNA ROSARIO, USA-West Coast Charter Team Leader BING MORDENO, Newport Beach Team Leader CARL BERNARDO, Los Angeles County Junior Team Leader CARISSA PACCERELLI, and PP hero YVETTE VILLAFUERTE.

PBCA is a group of badminton enthusiasts dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of badminton, both as a sport and recreational activity. Their group aims to develop friendship and camaraderie among its members as well as with other groups or individuals who play badminton. Although they carry the Philippine name and color, membership is open not only to Filipinos, but also to other nationalities.

To join PBCA, contact Jun Bautista (President) at (951) 313-7492 or Ding Sayson (Secretary) at (909)538-6340. PBCA plays regularly at the Arcadia Badminton Club located at 12336 Lower Azusa Rd., Arcadia, CA 91006.

If you or your group is interested in having a book drive, please email us or contact the team leader in your area. Join us in reaching out to underprivileged kids in the Philippines. These are children who have never seen a picture book in their life or those who attend schools with minimal or no library facilities. Let's provide these kids the books they need. Promote literacy to eradicate poverty!
