PAANC sponsors and participates
in a number of humanitarian projects within our community.
We believe it's our responsibility to provide service to
those in need. Volunteers are always needed to help continue
our humanitarian service.
Carolina Medical Mission:
 The
Carolina Medical Mission is the primary humanitarian
project of the nonprofit organization , Philippine-American
Association of North Carolina, Inc With their dedicated
volunteer professionals, CMM provides free Medical, Ophthalmic,
Surgical, and Dental services to the many disadvantaged,
health-impaired individuals in the rural areas of the Philippines.
The
annual mission has served thousands of our fellow Filipinos
since 1994. In recent years, the mission started an anti-TB
multiple drug therapy project. At the conclusion of each
mission, the venue/ hospital receives gifts of medical supplies
and some surgical/anesthesiology instruments from CMM. The
2002 mission coordinated by Rosie Ocampo was a great success.
CMM is busy planning upcoming missions. For more information

The
PAANC Scholarship Committee is appealing to members
families and friends to help build up the Scholarship Fund
(to yield sufficient interest) and make it self-sustaining.
The current Philippine economic and political instability
has seriously effected the livelihood of many, especially
of low-income families. We must continue to provide scholarship
grant to underprivileged, but promising and talented young
people and give them the opportunity to receive a proper
education. The returns for your generosity can be best measured
in satisfaction and in blessings. Scholarship
