The Thinking Persons Learning and Resource Center Needs Your Help

Underdog Press
This nice gentleman contacted us about a resource center in the Philippines, and he’s looking for donations of your zines and what not. His name is Alter Picar, and he’s from the from Davao City, Philippines D.I.Y. Community. His collective is establishing a public/zine library and social center called “The Thinking Persons Learning and Resource Center” which will open in March. They hope to attract students, activists and people from DIY community. Alter is accepting donations of any kinds of zines, old books and pamphlets or whatever materials that would be helpful in this endeavor. Since they are living in an economically destitute country, this project will not be possible without outside help. If you’re interested in helping, e-mail him at thethinkingpersons@yahoo.com to get his complete address. For more info: http://www.myspace.com/underdog_press .
