Project Report | Mar 31, 2016
March 2016 Status

By Paul Gezon | Project Leader

You have likely heard a lot about Cuba in the news recently.  This increased media coverage has brough swaths of new tourists to the island, which has greatly affected the food program.  As increased tourism continues to consume a large portion of the private food available in Cuba, our food program proudly carries on. With such a great increase in tourism, our food program could not survive without donors like you. Our travelers have confirmed that the recent increase in tourism has constrained the amount food available for private purchase from our program's leaders. Yet with donations like yours, our program has carried on, despite the difficulties it faces with such limited resources available.

Your generous donations continue to provide many mentally and physically disabled individuals and their families with adequate nutrition that would otherwise be unobtainable. With your contributions, this program has provided support for over thirty impoverished families. It is your backing that provides hope for these recipients, that they may one day achieve what we take for granted, going to sleep without the worry of food for tomorrow.

We at First-Hand Aid thank you for opening your hearts to this program and aiding the physically and mentally disabled in their plight to achieve a healthy standard of life. The beneficiaries of this program's lives have greatly improved on behalf on your generous donations. Thank you for all of your support!
