News Release: Medical Supplies for Cuba Campaign

January 8, 2021

The Canadian Network on Cuba is proud to initiate a vibrant fundraising campaign across Canada to raise $50,000 for greatly needed medical supplies for Cuba. This will be a 3-month campaign to fill and ship a container with the critical supplies that Cuba needs.

The campaign launch is on January 8, the date of the victorious arrival in Havana of the Rebel Army, led by Fidel Castro in 1959. Fidel Castro’s forward-looking policies have led to Cuba’s distinguished medical accomplishments, and international humanitarian aid around the world. Cuba’s Henry Reeve International Medical Brigade has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize.

Dear friends,

Thank you very much on behalf of the Canadian Network on Cuba (CNC) for your steady, generous and thoughtful support for the campaigns we launched and administered for the benefit of Cuba during this passing year. Your material contributions were all accepted and gratefully appreciated in Cuba as acts of true solidarity.

Thankfully the strong hurricanes that roamed the Caribbean this summer spared Cuba from direct hits even in the late anxious months. (We remember that in 1954 Hurricane Hazel intruded as far north as to Toronto and made itself as brutally familiar here as it normally is in Cuba. It took a toll of 35 lives on Raymore Drive in Weston and 85 throughout Canada). Thankfully too, the hurricane season is over and now we can turn our focus to Cuba's wise and herculean effort against COVID-19.
