Although Cuba has become a popular tourist destination Bob and Susan and other volunteers travel to various sites in Cuba to assist our Cuban friends. In 2001, Bob and Susan Beer began making trips to Cuba on their own. During this time, the poverty and the overwhelming need of common people in the country captured their hearts. They then determined that they would endeavor to help whomever they could.
Returning home and conversing with friends they felt drawn to begin what today has become the humanitarian aid charitable organization named "Friends to Cuba".
With humble beginnings, and using mostly their own personal funds at least to begin, they made several trips, carrying in large amounts of supplies, like household family medicines, personal care items, medical supplies and equipment destined for rural medical clinics, assorted school supplies, shoes, clothing, sports equipment, laptops, musical instruments and any other items that they could carry in large duffle bags. The various projects are with children's homes/orphanages, medical clinics, smaller schools and house churches located in Holguin, Matanzas, Canasi, San Miguel del Padron and Havana.
Today they carry on this ministry with the support of various churches, concerned individuals and corporate supporters who have joined the cause. "Friends to Cuba" is now serving under the mission umbrella of GLOBAL OUTREACH MISSION.
We trust as you browse these pages and see the areas of concern and ministry, that you too will see and understand the need to respond to help our friends in Cuba.
Thank you and God Bless You!
Bob and Susan
