Cuba continues..against all odds!

Friends,
As Cuba continues trying to move forward against all odds, we are happy to inform you that we
had a great trip in January with the eleven of us. Carrying many pounds of medicine and supplies to
multiple locations. We also supplied funds to continue to feed the 16 senior shut-ins, as well as 40
preschool children.

Again we will travel in April continuing the work we have been dedicated to for 25 years.
Please remember to mark your calendars for the two largest events of this year.


HAVANA NIGHT JUNE 14TH
CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF SUPPORTING THE CUBAN PEOPLE A GREAT NIGHT OF CUBAN FOOD, MUSIC, AND AUCTION PACKAGES
GOLF OUTING SEPT 21ST
HELD AT PIGEON CREEK GOLF COURSE
Both of these events are a large percentage of our yearly budget. Please place them on your calendar

Thank you all, until next time.

This Situation

First-Hand Aid has provided a helping hand to the people of Cuba for over twenty years. A truly amazing accomplishment considering the ever-changing international economy and political climate. Few non-profits can claim this accomplishment.

Current conditions in Cuba are far more difficult than ever before. Cuba has lost international support resulting in limited or no resources to generate electricity, provide transportation, food or basic medical supplies. 

We will continue to provide meals, family support, and medical supplies with our current partners but we believe it is time to take the Next Step!
