The photos below were taken from my old camera in 1986 to 1987 at PFAC while I was Coordinator of the Special Enhancement Program for Long Stayer Refugees and also as Education Coordinator.

I was brought by CMHS to the VRC in April 1986 to coordinate the Special Enhancement Program for long stayers. I worked closely with Gary Autencio and PCCS, who implemented the program.
