"A child without education is like a bird without wings." Tibetan proverb

    Linambasan Elementary School

What a great day to spend with the kids at Linambasan and Aglibacao Elementary Schools in Jamindan, Capiz. Thanks to Bernadith Barrientos for coordinating the school supplies, rice packs and shoe distribution event. We are grateful to Diane and Mon Acas for their generous shoe donation to the Rice and Shoes Project of Monike Alberjieun. BalayniCharie is now on its 12th year and the Rice and Shoes Project of Monike Alberjieun is on its second year of service to the children in Capiz.

238 students at Linambasan Elementary School received school supplies and rice packs.

    Shoes from Monique AlbarJen's Rice and Shoes Program

New shoes were given to 21 schoolchildren at Linambasan from Monique AlbarJen Rice and Shoes Program. Thanks also to Dawn Scully for her shoe donation. It is well appreciated.

    Aglibacao Primary School

This school has only 31 students and four levels - first grade through 4th grades.

    San Julian Elementary School

BalayniCharie was at San Julian Elementary School in Tapaz on October 4, 2017 to give school supplies to the students there and to the school kids at Agpalali Elementary School. We are grateful to our generous sponsors, Aimee, Michael and Nathan of California, USA and to Monike Alberjieun and her Rice and Shoes Program for the shoes. Thanks also to RG Castillon Gadian for setting up this successful event. It was a most satisfying day with the kids. 190 children are enrolled at San Julian.
