Rotary International Dentist Volunteer

MY BEST FRIEND DR. LUIS MEDRANO

Mexican dentist Dr. Luis Medrano is a member of the Rotary International Dentist Association. In 1985 and again in 1988, Luis came to the PFAC Refugee Center in Palawan (as a volunteer) to give free dental service to the Vietnamese refugees. Luis and I immediately became best friends. We still maintain our friendship and contact today. In Winter 2006, Luis and I were reunited when he and his family visited Canada.
