The 49-year US economic embargo on Cuba that has been in place since 1961,
has been and continues to be a detriment for the small island with a nation
of 11 million people, causing the most harm to the sick and the elderly.
Due to US trade embargo and because Cuba have lost their aid from the former
Soviet Union, almost everything is in short supply in Cuba today. They
experience lack medicines, even bandages, basic toiletries, like soap, as
well as an office supplies for schools, such as pens and paper…
Adult Family Homes in Havana
The Parish of the Montserrat congregation has twelve years of experience
to distribute donations to Adult Family Homes in Havana and agreed to help
us in our project.
Our humanitarian help will make a lasting difference in the lives of elderly
Cuban people, those who face extreme poverty, hunger and lack of medicines.
Adult Family Homes in Cuba urgently need our support. The life saving
medicines and medical supplies can save many adults in poverty. Food supply

"Children of TARARA" project
Day
in and day out, since 1990, Cuba's revolutionary government has
maintained a program that ordinary citizens there point to with pride. It
has earned the deep respect of working people in Ukraine, but due to highly
selective news coverage stamped by Washington's information embargo; it is
virtually unknown in the United States.
Children who were exposed to radiation pollution from the Chernobyl nuclear
accident in the Ukraine in 1986 (which released 300 times the radiation
emitted by Washington's atomic attack on Hiroshima in 1945), have developed
many physiological defects which require special treatment. Cuban medical
authorities have agreed to provide services for many of the worst cases.
