“Providential Endowment: Working with the Army and Air Force Exchange Service” is a memoir written by Cecilio N. Navarro Jr. It chronicles his remarkable journey from the Philippines to the United States, highlighting his experiences working with the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES). Navarro’s father, despite having only a sixth-grade education, managed to become a schoolteacher and post Exchange manager at Clark Air Force Base. Inspired by his father’s legacy, Navarro started a career at AAFES, where he spent thirty-nine years advocating for employees facing termination and even running for union president.
Navarro’s story is one of resilience, faith, and determination. As one of the first Philippine Exchange employees to receive special immigrant status, he overcame numerous challenges, including supporting his family on a meager income of $4.25 an hour. Throughout his journey, he remained positive and focused on achieving success. His experiences at AAFES took him from the Philippines to the United States and eventually to Germany, where he witnessed historic events such as the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
To make the most of the experience, Inks and Bindings advises festival attendees to carefully plan their visit, prioritizing the sessions and events that align with their interests.
