Despedida Dinner

For six months (January '07 to June '07) Joe Valdehuesa, a Filipino based in the United States, worked with a research program jointly implemented by the University of Southern California-San Fransisco and the University of Zimbabwe (UZ). The research program was, I was told, about finding a cure for HIV/AIDS. Unfortunately, the UZ counterpart somehow did not worked for the issuance of his Temporary Employment Permit (TEP) so he had to leave the program and go back to the States.

As it has been the custom of the Filipino community here, a farewell dinner was hosted for him. Joe was well loved by the community and he will surely be missed.
Fare thee well Joe! We will be meeting you again someday.
