AHS1972IAF is launching "BALIKBAYAN BOX PROJECT".  It is aimed at providing an assortment of goods that will assist our kabatch in some of their needs, such as medical or nutritional supplies (vitamins, over the counter medicines for headaches, fever, cold, joint & muscle pains, etc), school supplies, new or used backpacks & school bags, used books & other reading materials, used clothes/shoes, reading glasses, new or used small item kitchen & home supplies, new or used computers, digital cameras, cell phones, etc., a variety of canned goods and food supplies, and other miscellaneous items.
 
Those interested to join this campaign could send their packages/donations to 2 sites:
 
1)  c/o Agnes Maufit: 728 Foxglove St., Encinitas, CA 92024 Tel: 760-277-4001
2)  c/o Edgar Celeste: 2615 Sleepy Hollow Ave., Hayward, CA 94545 Tel: 510-732-0506
 
We will put together all donated goods and ship them at the same time to the Philippines, c/o Pres. Rey Bautista.  The goods will be distributed to our batchmates during a meeting or gathering and the date & other details will be decided upon by Rey Bautista and the officers.  Some school supplies will also be distributed to our scholars at Araullo High School.
 
At this time, we are buying vitamins & medical supplies, school supplies, and canned goods.  For those that would like to order vitamins & other goods by mail, please ship them directly to Agnes Maufit or Ed Celeste.
 
"BALIKBAYAN BOX PROJECT" will be a yearly project and will be a part of the Calendar of Events of AHS1972IAF. 
 
Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.
 
Thank you.
