Balay Mapanag


One of the main goals of BalayniCharie Foundation is to support literacy and education in the province of Capiz. We met Fretzie Henderin Feria of Balay Mapanag, a Museum, Library and Archives in Cuartero, Capiz and presented her with books for the town's library. Cuartero is the only town in Capiz with its own museum and library. Many thanks to my Paulinian colleagues, Jazmin Gaite , Nievz V Quezon and Smiley and Kai Shoes Program for these books. Thanks too to Christian George Francisco Acevedo for introducing me to Ms. Feria and this important literacy project.
