Finally I’ve met “Ito,” Dr. Juan Torres, the doctor from the Philippines that *Dad always raved about. Ito and Dad shared a mutual respect for each other and a passion for Kiwanis and Sleeping Children.
Over the past twenty years or so, close to 100,000 Filipino children have received bedkits under Dr. Torres’ leadership.
After meeting Ito this week, I now understand Dad’s feelings for him. He is a character!!! Charming, mischievously playful, and extremely intelligent.
Our whole team thinks he is great. We can’t seem to get enough of his stories and insight!
His volunteer team, that includes his family, friends, and fellow Kiwanians, has superbly organized this year’s distribution — as usual.
Two thousand children have received bedkits with three thousand more to go!
Thanks, Ito!!!!

Hi Team - Keep up the great work. Love the pics. Take really good photos because Murray's Upstairs Girls want to be able to read the codes!
Seeing the pics on-line makes us smile.
