| ? Ramses Batista, Devastation from January Tornado in Havana |
Two months ago I wrote about the devastation from a tornado that hit on January 30 in the outskirts of Havana in which many Cubans lost their homes. You can read that blog here.

My friend and co-leader, Ramses Batista, and I, at the time offered the proceeds from our print sales for the relief fund, and I put out a call via my blog for help.
The reaction was exquisite!
When I went back in March I brought about 10 used phones that were donated, along with a substantial amount of cash for supplies.
Ramses and his team in Havana, used the funds raised to purchase many basics for the people that needed them most. They then delivered the items directly to those in need.
Here are some images of the goods that were acquired. In February, there was difficulty getting some things, like cooking oil, due to shortages throughout Cuba.

Soap, canned goods and cooking oil had been some of the things purchased.

In addition to food and toiletries, a few toys had been observed for the kids.

I'm going back to Cuba in November and will bring more things when I go. If you would like to contribute, you may send a check to:
