Papa after visiting Mama at the Bais Public Cemetery, October, 2004. It is in both their memories that we dedicate the Avenir Foundation.

Avenir Foundation: Inspired by the spirit of generosity of our parents, Diogenes "Diony" Villanueva Baena and Belen Montesa Baena, and prompted by the need for helping hands in our place of birth, Bais, we have established a Foundation to coordinate our efforts to help Baisanons in the field of education of young children.. "We can give money in silence, but it is better to be proud of your act and pledge openly so you invite other people to pledge as well" - Frank Meester. We hope that our modest efforts will inspire and encourage kindred spirits to extend a helping hand to our fellow Baisanons. Our initiative is a work in progress, and will continue to exist as long as the realities of the economic climate remain positive for us. The need is huge but one only has to make a difference in the life of a child(ren). "Avenir" is French for "future". Regards from The Montesa-Baena Family
