Two boxes went out end of April. Both of them are headed to my friends'--Angel's and Mari's--homes. They had pledged to distribute Candlelight Books. Angel will course the books through her Unang Hakbang Foundation (UHF) in Mandaluyong. UHF will in turn, will use the adult books in their adult literacy programs in Manila jails.
Mari will course her books through her aunt-nun in Hinundayan, Leyte--to be distributed to an elementary school there.
Meanwhile, we packed our last boxes out of our old address as we move to our new home. Mon Cargo Services picked up the boxes and charged $90 for both.
I was struck with what the Mon Cago guy had to say: "Buti pa yung mga box, makaka-uwi!" Then I felt homesick.
I await lots of pictures to share. . . .
