Another wonderful and fulfilling experience! Medical missions like the one conducted by the FEU-NRMF MTIAS in Laurel, Batangas are vital in providing healthcare services to communities in need.
It's very heartwarming to see the dedication of all the volunteers, including the doctors, optometrists, dentists, FEU-NRMF RMT/faculty, out-of-town volunteers, and local supporters of the mayor. Their collective effort truly makes a difference in the lives of others.
Special thank you to my classmate and BFF, Celso Amo, a retired CLS who helped in making this medical mission a success.
What great support from my fellow FEU-NRMF MTIAS officers and friends(Dr. Luz Dia Guerrero, Nes Guerrero, Cyd C Sartoris, Maxima Edora, Tess Lopez Crisostomo), Eloisa Dominguez and Marissa Fajardo)
who highlight the camaraderie and shared commitment to this worthy cause. The motto "To serve and make a difference!" encapsulates the spirit of the mission and the impact it has on the community.
