Dr. Ruggero and his wife sent to El La Tourtue, Haiti, in the West Indies under a program called AmDoc. This is an organization of American doctors who volunteer their serv- . ices to help others.

How he gathered bed sheets-- one of the main needs--as well as many drugs to administer a tuberculosis vaccine is part of: the story.
