2022 Delegation to Palo, Leyte

2022 Delegation


Neighbors Abroad was honored to organize a delegation to Palo, Leyte, our oldest Sister City, in October 2022. The visit coincided with the anniversary of the historic landing of General MacArthur in Leyte Gulf during World War II. The primary goal of the trip was to review the projects we have been able to support in recent years, thanks to generous donations from the Palo Alto community. We came away inspired by what has been accomplished and invigorated to further our efforts. 

​Members of the delegation included Palo VPs Ellen Valentine and Betty Duran and Neighbors Abroad President Bob Wenzlau, along with Palo Committee members Nodelyn and Douglas Smith and Evelyn Shimazaki. Among other activities, the group enjoyed visits to the Neighbors Abroad-sponsored Children's Library, a festive parade, and the warm hospitality of their hosts.
