Thank you Robert & Susan and to all of our dear friends at "Friends to Cuba" for all of the wonderful gifts of medications and financial support. Your wonderful generosity will help us in the needed construction at our church and to assist the familes at our church and in our commuinity....
Pastor Mayito: (San Miguel del Padron - south of Havana)...The many years that Robert & Susan have been supporting our little church has been a blessing from God. The support we have received from "Friends to Cuba" has been important is so many areas of health and care for many persons in San Miguel. The construction of the second floor and kitchen has provided us with so much more opportunities to minister to the children and familes. The medicines, eye glasses, musical instruments, sports equipment, laptops, cell phones and so much more have enabled us to expand our ministry beyond the areas of San Miguel.....
Sen. Felipe Hernandez: (Director of the children's home in Matanzas)...On behalf of myself and the children and young people at our home we all want to say thank you to Robert & Susan for your generosity. What fun we had shopping through the streets of Matanzas for the numerous pairs of shoes, sandals and back packs. Your boxes of medications, vitamins, clothing, school supplies and so much more will be so very beneficial for each child. Thank you again for your kindness and love....See you in May.
From "Friends to Cuba" - "Tourist" friends:
* My husband and I were vacationing in Varadero for two weeks. Robert assisted us with every detail so our visit to the children's home went perfectly. We were recieved graciously by Felipe (director) and shown around the large home. Our day with the children was all quality time which amazed us with such beautiful and cheerful children. The children captured us, as we gave them many items that were accepted graciously and with love. The children were always cheeful, polite and well behaved. During our visit we also saw that the home needs many repairs which Robert & Susan are attempting to accomplish through "Friends to Cuba". Because of our visit we will be supporting "Friends to Cuba" specifically for the Matanzas children's home. Thank you, we will be back...SC
* On beahlf of my husband and our three young boys, I want to say how important our visit to the Matanzas children's home meant to us. As regular tourists to Cuba, the visit to the children's home has openned our eyes and hearts to the needs beyond the beach. Thank you "Friends to Cuba" for your great work in Cuba. As a family, we will be back and will be supporting your efforts financially to the children's home in Matanzas. ... Keep it up! J & D
