Ephraim Toche, Vice President of BOOKS for the BARRIOS in the Philippines has traveled all the way to America to share his first-hand experience with BftB in his home country, as well as learn about operations here in the states. He makes a tremendous impact on everyone he meets.

His passion, positive attitude, and insight on BftB's work is inspiring. Mr. Toche offers a rare opportunity to truly learn about this organization's impact from someone who sees it every day- from distributing books nation-wide to training teachers year-round to working with the U.S. Special Forces. While visiting, he has assisted with operations in the Concord facility, helped out with many field trips, conducted speaking engagements throughout the state, and of course, has been on many sight-seeing adventures. BftB staff and volunteers are very grateful for his visit as we learn from him every day. Come visit us in Concord, California and say hi to Ephraim!
