From the desk of President Danny Villaruz: For a quick summary, the mission served in ISAH’s 4 Ilocos Homecoming Mission started in December 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2011 we helped approximately 45,000 indigent’s patients. The December, 2009 and 2011 ISAH’s 4th Homecoming Mission, which was in cooperation with Titans USA Foundation, The Etrata Sr. & Maria Etrata Foundation, the Bayanihan Clinic Without Walls, the Friends of the Filipino Community and other sponsors; to all the more than 50 strong homecoming medical team and volunteers headed by ISAH Advisers Dr. Charlie Sonido, and Former Rep. Jun Abinsay. This mission included programs such as free medical consultation, minor surgery promotion of education or the Educational Olympiad, arts, and culture. We also held the 4th Ilocos Sur Idol singing competition. The timing of this mission was very satisfying, since it coincided with the Christmas season. The true spirit of sharing and giving to our kababayans came at a time when they most needed the help of medical attention, but also in gift giving and monetary giving for the less fortunate.
