We just launched a Firstgiving campaign to raise $6,500 to wire Toboy National High School in Asingan, Pangasinan. We were lucky to come across the NY-NJ-PA Friends of Asingan, Inc., a non-profit association composed of Fil-Ams from Asingan. They will be helping us in the campaign. Those of you who follow this blog and want to donate – and get a few more tax deductions to close the year – just go to http://www.firstgiving.com/afusanynjpateam and click on ‘Give Now’.
This campaign is really exciting because we have support from key parties:
- GILAS volunteers in NY/NJ/PA
- Asingan local government
- NY-NJ-PA Friends of Asingan, Inc.
Let’s not forget that we have the support of the growing number of GILAS supporters and donors. We plan to create a Yahoogroup to connect donors/supporters with Toboy HS. We can hardly wait to get that first email from one of the students, the first voice call over the Internet, etc.
