The Barangay Learning Centers is devoted to the promotion of education in the small town of Barangay Pepita on the island of Leyte in the Philippines. The center was opened on June 10, 2008. Its construction was a project that the people of Barangay Pepita took great pride in.
Book stores and libraries throw out or destroy (through recycling) millions of books a year. We believe that it makes both environmental and worldy sense to reclaim these books and make them available to places like the Philippines where books are rare and expensive. It is our hope that the BPPLC model can be duplicated through book donations and community support all across the Philippines and beyond. Currently, other learning centers are being planned or the early stages of construction have begun for sites in Barangay Aslang, Barangay Alanalang, and Marandoke in the Philippines.
