Recipients
University of the Philippines in the Visayas (UPV)
In 2000, the UPV Library became the first recipient of our book drive. So far, over 5,000 books have been donated to their libraries in Miagao, Iloilo Province, and Iloilo City.
UPV has approximately 6,000 students across 4 campuses, including high school, undergraduate and graduate students. Approximately 2/3 are undergraduates. To enter the students must pass a very competitive entrance exam. The school is consider among the best in the Visayas. As an example of the need, in 2003 the UPV library system acquired a total of 3,291 books.
