About Us:   Our mission is to provide books to public libraries and school supplies to indigent children.        Galing (which means "great") was founded in May 12, 2005 by Toni Daya-Luetgers, a native of the Philippines and an award-winning artist/producer.   "Here in America, I realized the abundance of new and gently used school supplies cluttering our space.   Meanwhile in the rural areas of the Philippines, indigent children suffer illiteracy.  Many do not have access to books and school supplies." Since, May 2005 PG has shipped 119 balikbayan boxes of donation from various individuals and organizations in Atlanta to help promote English, functional and civic literacy among Filipino indigent children in Batangas, Cavite, Cebu, Misamis Oriental, South Cotabato, General Santos & Quezon, area.  We hope to expand the project to benefit other rural areas in the near future.
