PFAC Palawan Grand Reunion 2015

REMEMBERING THE VRC PALAWAN

THE VIETNAMESE REFUGEE CAMP PALAWAN

Looking back, I realized how organized PFAC Palawan had been. We had UNHCR, Schools teaching English, French and Vietnamese languages, WESCOM that took care of the security of the refugees, a hospital with first class highly competent doctors and efficient nurses, a dental office, two libraries, a Catholic Church, a Buddhist Temple, a Caodaist Temple, a Christian Church, Red Cross office, a Daycare Center, a Vietnamese Restaurant, a bakery, many convenient stores, an improvised movie house, a coffee shop and a canteen, a counselling office, an accompanied minors' home, IOM, HTC, ARMDEV, CADP and BRACE etc. PFAC was a community or a small village. Nostalgic indeed.

 Water was supplied by this truck in the event of unexpected shortage.
