Heartfelt messages of congratulations, thanks and appreciation came from all corners of the globe to recognize Dr. Lanny Smith as founder and first president of DGH. Health promoters from Albania, El Salvador, Mexico and Phillipines, and physicians and social justice activists from Iran, Argentina, Cuba, France and Uganda all sent their special words and memories.
DGH's 10th Anniversary General Assembly was the chosen forum to honor Lanny for carrying out the vision he put forth just over ten years ago. Lanny, the man with a dream who had invited others to come along, was at the roots of creating what today is a vibrant, growing NGO with an impressive ten-year history.
DGH advisory council's Dr. Victor Sidel and board member Shirley Novak presented Lanny (see photo on left) with a striking photo of the Jaime Sol—rzano Bridge in El Salvador. Often used as a concrete example of Liberation Medicine in action, the photo was surrounded by select quotes from people who had been part of DGH's birth and growth. The framed photo, along with a bound compilation of all the sentiments contributed, represents the epitome of Lanny's imprint on communities and individuals around the world.
