Also involved in charity works, Nigerwives produce Braille textbooks for blind students across the coun try. LIKEMINDS PROJECT is an Abuja-based non-governmental organization. PUSONG PINOY (which means Heart of a Filipino) is a duly registered association of Filipinos in Abuja. It made a cash donation to purchase some of the computers for the centre during the tenure of its past president, Grace Abrazado.
