He told and showed members what projects they were doing in Panama. He went on to say that their projects would not be possible without grants from Rotary Clubs.  Another member of the team, Licda Yaritza Pena, thanked Rotarians for their support and the opportunity they have in coming to our District. Dr. Juan Jose Ayola was the other member of the Team in attendance.  While in District 5710, the team will receive training in numerous fields; including health care, emergency preparedness, and distance learning.
