Thanks to generous donors like you, First-Hand Aid is proud to announce that over $9,000 dollars has been raised to support First-Hand Aid's food program. With your charitable donations, First-Hand Aid will continue providing meals for the programs recipients and will be searching for additional families to support. Historic developments have recently been made between the governments of the United States and Cuba and we hope that these changes will make it easier to facilitate additional support programs in the future.
Thank you for your generosity.
A letter from Marc Bohland, executive director of First-Hand Aid:
For the past 15 years that this organization and myself have been doing humanitarian work in Cuba, we have anticipated the day when both our country and Cuba would be willing to at least talk about reestablishing diplomatic relations. For the many people of Cuba who suffer daily from the break with the United States, and the many Cuban Americans who have family living in Cuba, this day is a great beginning. Every day on the news it becomes more evident that we live in a global environment all affected by one another. The future of our world depends on the future of the young in all countries. We hope that this is a positive start with these two nations.
We will all hope and pray that this is the beginning of a new future.
