Books, kilo of rice, used clothes are now distributed, new energy started to flow, inspiring to create, conceptualize, and heal. Call this a blessing as gift from my book donors, book patrons that eventually circles back toward its source; and strives to bring to its original home some equivalent to take its place. Another fascinating story of the creative spirit is to treat the product of the imagination as a gift or 'atang' known also as Santorium, an ancient traditional offering which ensures the fertility of the imagination. To accept the fruits of these things as gifts is to acknowledge that we are not their owners or masters, that we are if anything, their servants, their book missionaries, and not restricted to alms-giving, but embraces all our relations with our fellow-men, whether our inferiors, our equals or our superiors.. Having an experience with books being donated to readingclub2000 for seventeen years, keeping the flow of energy in motion, when energy started to flow as we distribute, disbursed our gifts to reach the countrysides, to the barrio folks and not by capitalizing upon them. And as we nourished the spirit by disbursing our gift without expecting any financial gain in return is to keep this printed materials alive, moving, with a flowing energy; the sign of identity is generosity, gratefulness or the act of gratitude. By nourishing and seeking the spirit on how to maximize this complimentary literacy campaign awareness together with the teachers, educators, and librarians makes the next program possible to actualize - a free online tutoring service is now complementing my mission. I would like to record my profound appreciation to all planetary citizens who helped to achieve this noble purpose in sharing their own time and resources in the spirit of partnership and universal brotherhood.
