"America", a Filipino Children's Art Exhibit presented by Galing Foundation, Inc. in partnership with the McDonough Public Library opens at McDonough Public Library. The opening ceremony was attended by Ms. Carol Fuller, Director of Henry County Public Library System, Mr. David Barton, President (elect) of Metro South Association of Realtors, Atty. Virginia Dixon, Managing Attorney of Morris Hardwick Schneider Jonesboro office and Ms. Janice Alcalde, GFI Youth Leader Awardee 2008.
In a welcome remark, Ms. Fuller expressed "We can help improve lives all over the world thru reading. And it's incredible (exhibit) to see the children's drawings because it helped me relate to a person which makes the giving and sharing much more important."
The exhibit are select drawings by some of the beneficiaries of the foundation from Lucban, Quezon, Cavite, South Cotabato and Sarangani Province. With the exhibit, the McDonough Public Library provides visitors a special opportunity to appreciate each child’s perception of America expressed through art.
The exhibit will run until Nov. 30 at McDonough Public Library (http://www.henry.public.lib.ga.us/mcdonough.htm)
