It's a wonderful thing to know that friends, far away, are working to help you. So we, at Bahay Pag-asa, want to send our thanks to "Sue, Patty, Sarah and Josh" at Saint Mary's College of California for helping to set up our library catalog. Our January volunteers (Margaret, Cody, Jaime, Shane and Frankie) will be bringing / shipping over 750 new books for our library. You can even see what they're bringing by checking our online catalog at http://www.librarything.com/catalog/BahayPag-Asa. Margaret Brown-Salazar (librarian at SMC) will then work with the student volunteers and our own residents to evaluate our existing library at BPYC and add what is still useful to our new catalog. As Lasallian education becomes more and more a global effort, its exciting to see this kind of trans-oceanic teamwork and forging of new partnerships (friendships, really). The boys at Pag-asa are just amazed that people are doing all of this to help them re-direct their lives and make hope happen here.
