Children's talent & intelligence stifled due to lack of education

"Education is the key to Asia's success" ---Fidel V. Ramos,
former Philippine President May 7, Atlanta, GA.

Millions of Filipinos live under desperate conditions and children
whose talents and intelligence are stifled because of their poverty,
lack of education and lack of opportunities to grow. So much
potential is wasted.

OUR MISSION:

Project Galing is an effort to help fight illiteracy in impoverished areas in the Philippines.

Our objectives are:

To partner with rural public libraries,
providing them materials that will
facilitate a learning environment
available to all children.

To provide indigent children access
to books (encyclopedias,
dictionaries, textbooks, references)
at rural public libraries.

To provide educational and training
tools (books & videos) to teachers
and caregivers.

To provide indigent children school
supplies and decent clothing.

BACKGROUND:

Project Galing (which means "great") was
founded in May 2005 by Toni Daya-
Luetgers, a native of the Philippines and an
award-winning artist/producer.

"Here in America, I realized the abundance
of used and outgrown materials including
school supplies cluttering our space.
Meanwhile in the rural areas of the
Philippines, indigent children suffer
illiteracy. Many do not have access to books
and school supplies."

Since, May 2005 PG has collected several
box full of donation from various individuals
and organizations in Atlanta to help Filipino
indigent children fight illiteracy in Lucban,
Quezon area. We hope to expand the
project to benefit other rural areas in the
near future.

As of June 23, 2006 Project Galing has sent 20 balikbayan boxes.
