Looking for my bra! Hope you find your bra and identify them... then share this exhibit with your friends!

Also note we have Elene Kho, 14 y.o. young lady from Brunei (Singapore-Brunei blood) who also shared her bras. Thanks to her mom, Molly! They are from Brunei (not Filipinos) who mailed the bras to support us. 

Here are the beautifully embellished B.R.A. Art for Advocacy now on display at Lantaka Hotel and eventually, in other places in Zamboanga City!

With Love from Elene Koh, 14 y.o. from BRUNEI
