Project Galing shipped balikbayan box #'s 15,16, 17, 18, 19 & 20.
These 6 balikbayan boxes containing brand new childrens books,
dictionaries, basketballs, backpacks, school supplies, toothbrushes,
deodorants, toothpast and others educational materials were funded
by the Cross of Life Lutheran Church. The Endowment Fund of $1,200
was awarded to Project Galing last May 7, during the "Asian Heritage
Month Dinner with former Phil. President and Mrs. Ramos as honored
guests.
Other contents of the boxes were gently used encyclopedias and atlas
donated by Lorna Balatbat.
According to Hannah Burtnik of Manila Mart, the boxes are estimated
to arrive in the Philippines within 2 months. The boxes can also be
tracked online.
