STILL TIME TO

GET ON THE BUS TO CUBA!

Spread the word...the deadline for participating in the

12th IFCO\/Pastors for Peace US\/Cuba Friendshipment

Cararvan to Cuba has been extended to June 13!



That means you still have time to:

1. be a part of this bold challenge to the immoral

and genocidal US blockade

2. deliver thousands of pounds of precious, life-giving

aid to Cuban schools, hospitals and churches

3. visit amazing projects all over Cuba that are using

alternative energies like solar power to improve

the lives of all Cubans

4. help deliver a special solidarity shipment of computers,

medical textbooks and other educational materials to

the Latin American School of Medical Sciences, where

US students are studying on full scholarship to serve

as doctors in medically underserved communities in the US.
