Kwentong Bayan: Labour of Love has been selected to be a part of the Graphic History Project  presented by the Graphic History Collective (GHC). 

The GHC is supporting Althea and Jo to illustrate and write a 10 page mini-comic about the history of the Live-in Caregiver program and its impact on the lives of Filipina caregivers.  A collection of other comic book projects that explore radical graphic histories will be launched online in 2014-2015.  

The Graphic History Collective produced the comic book, May Day: A Graphic History of Protest, a historical account of May Day in Canada.  Thank you to Julia Smith, Paul Buhle, and the Graphic History Collective for supporting Kwentong Bayan: Labour of Love.
