DESCRIPTION:The Pastors For Peace/IFCO Cuba “Friendshipment” Caravan will arrive in 
 Sacramento on Saturday, June 24, at 6:00 PM at the Southside Co-Housing 
 Common House, 434 T Street. A potluck dinner will be followed by an 
 presentation by Karen Wald, a great speaker and expert on Cuba. The public 
 is invited. \n\nIn June/July 2006, the 17th Friendshipment will travel on 
 13 different routes to visit more than 120 US and Canadian cities. They 
 will travel in school buses, trucks, and cars to Cuba via Mexico with 
 medical and educational supplies collected from groups across the US and 
 Canada, refusing US Treasury Department licenses, as a collective challenge 
 to the blockade and travel ban. \n\nThe caravanistas will spend 8 days in 
 Cuba visiting hospitals, schools and a range of social projects in Havana, 
 hearing from important Cuban speakers, and meeting people via cultural 
 activities. They will then fly back to Mexico and cross the Texas border on 
 July 17th, bringing back with them a symbolic donation of goods that Cuba 
 would like to trade with the US people. Once again, Pastors for Peace is 
 mounting a joint travel challenge with the Venceremos Brigade and the 
 US-Cuba Labor Exchange. \n\nKaren Wald is an excellent speaker with 
 extensive experience as a writer/journalist, researcher, 
 educator,consultant and administrator. She has thirty-six years experience 
 writing for newspapers, magazines, professional journals, radio, video, 
 etc. \n\nShe worked for nearly two decades as a permanent foreign 
 correspondent in Cuba. Her themes include civil and human rights, war and 
 peace, environment, women, health, education, international relations, 
 religion and life in Cuba. \n\nFor more information or if your organization 
 would like to co-sponsor this event, call the Central America Action 
 Committee, (916) 457-5018. \n\n\n
