Book donation from New York Public Schools

BalayniCharie is the recipient of four boxes of children's books from the New York City public school system. The books were sent to Roxas City through the generous support of Nieva Quezon Burdick. These books will be distributed to various schools and libraries in Capiz. We are grateful for this important donation which will benefit the children in Capiz.
