In 2009, the year it was started, Dr. Dominica Garcia was the one honored with the San Lorenzo Ruiz Award in Thailand. Dr. Garcia distinguished herself in helping the poor, refugees, prisoners and other less privileged people in Thailand, Cambodia and Laos through her medical profession and altruistic service.

This year, the founders and organizers of this project, are accepting nominations from members of the community for this year's outstanding Filipino migrant worker in Thailand. Click here to read the criteria, process and scoring for the San Lorenzo Ruiz Award.
