Barangay Pepita People's Learning Center

The Barangay Pepita People's Learning Center is devoted to the promotion of education in the small town of Barangay Pepita on the island of Leyte in the Philippines. The story of how the Barangay Pepita People's Learning Center came to be begins decades ago when Cora Noyes was just a child reading the discarded newspapers used to wrap food. Reading material was scarce and many children hungry like her for knowledge had to leave to find it. Cora went on to college vowing to give back to the community that raised her.
