LASC planning meeting for August, 7-9pm at Canisius University Science Hall

(entrance near the Griffin stature along Main Street)

We are planning Cuba events for this Fall., in connection with IFCO/PfP  fund-raising for campaigns: “Cuba Kids Count Too” & “Let Cuba Live: Bread for Our Neighbors” see www.ifconews.org

Cuban Kids Count Too!: IFCO/Pastors for Peace and the Hatuey Project are partnering with Cuban doctors to fight childhood cancer in Cuba. Cuba has the most doctors per capita in the world, but the blockade doesn’t allow for the purchase of vital saving medicines for them to provide the necessary life-saving care. It’s on us to make a difference. Although aid is not enough, it will have a major impact in these children’s lives.

Bread For Our Neighbors: What would you do if your neighbor was starving? This is not a hypothetical. Right now the U.S. government is deliberately starving the Cuban people 90 miles to our South. We all must act now. As the food crisis is unfolding on the island of an unprecedented scale. A country where hunger had been made a thing of the past is now running out of bread and other essential food items. IFCO/Pastors for Peace has partnered with The People’s Forum to launch an emergency campaign — Let Cuba Live: Bread for Our Neighbors
