We are proposing to load another container of humanitarian aid for Cuba on Saturday july 25. The materials and equipment in this container will be going to Ciego de Avila, the center for children with Down syndrome in Pinar del Rio, the center for physically and mentally handicapped persons in Guines, and more.
HURRICANE RELIEF FAMILY KIT
The kits that we are putting together for Cuban families, are based on an assumed 5 persons per family, and contain the following:
2 towels, bath or mid size,
1 tube toothpaste,
5 tooth brushes,
1 bottle shampoo (preferably shampoo and conditioner in one),
3 disposable razors,
comb and hair brush,
3 bars og hand soap,
2 rolls toilet paper,
1 small mirror,
10 to 15 garbage bags,
5 plates,
5 acrylic glasses,
5 sets of silverware,
fry pan and cooking pot,
dish cleaning sponge,
1 small package female sanitary pads,
1 package detergent (pouch or box),
1 20 litre plastic pail with lid, or cardboard box to hold above items.
Other possible items, would be : skin cream, condoms, deodorant, cloth diapers and more...
The above list is a suggestion, and can be varied somewhat if need be.
We welcome any comments.
These kits will be distributed to families in hurricane ravaged areas of Cuba, and will be given to those who have lost their home or substantial part of it, and are experiencing the greatest need.
e.g.: families where a woman is pregnant, where a member(s) is physically or mentally impaired, old people in poor health, families with young children.
We hope that with the participation of others we can send 500 of these.
Personnel from the organization will be visiting institutions in Cuba in the fall of 2009 to determine future needs, and to assess the impact of past contributions. We follow up EVERY donation!
