"Open House", we organized this event with the aim of collecting funds so that the children of the Parochial Center of Huanchaco could have chocolate and Christmas presents this year. The open house took place in the house of a Filipina, Bing Barcelona, and featured pearls brought from the Phillipines and designed by a Filipino artist. The sale of these pearls went to charity since both the Filipino artist and Bing made the open house an altruistic donation. The offer seemed perfect to us because, given what time it was, we could contribute to the children's Christmas and at, the same time, have the opportunity to spread information about PAYPE's programs; especially the project of remodeling the libraries in Piura by means of subsidies granted by AECID. The lobby of women of the IESE collaborated for it's dissemination. The event had a high attendance of women. They bought different designs of pearls while at the same time contributed to the children's Christmas'.
