   The 19th U.S.-Cuba Friendshipment caravan sponsored by Pastors for
   Peace will be in the Twin Cities on June 19. Along with other
   organizations, the Minnesota Cuba Committee will be sponsoring a
   send-off dinner and program at St. Albert the Great Church. $10.00
   admission (no one turned away for lack of funds) will include a
   Cuban plate by Victor Valens. The program will include past and
   current caravanistas, Cuban music and the best mojitos in town.

   Between June 14 and July 14, 2008, the 19th US-Cuba Friendshipment
   Caravan will travel on 15 different routes to visit more than 125 US
   and Canadian cities. The caravan will travel in school buses,
   trucks, cars and a bookmobile to Cuba via Mexico with medical and
   educational supplies donated by groups across the US and Canada as a
   collective challenge to the US government's immoral. Inhuman and
   internationally condemned blockade of Cuba .

   The caravan will spend 8 days in Cuba, attending and participating
   in cultural events, and visiting social projects such as organic
   farms, homes for the elderly and health centers including the Latin
   American School of Medicine where 120 US students from economically
   deprived communities are training to be doctors under free
   scholarships provided by the Cuban government. Participants will
   meet and learn from Cubans at every level about the problems caused
   by the blockade and the ways they have creatively responded.

   The caravan will then return to Texas via Mexico, proudly declaring
   its travel to Cuba and its opposition to the blockade and ban on
   travel to Cuba

   Sponsors include the Minnesota Cuba Committee, Haiti Justice
   Committee, St. Luke's Presbyterian Church, Holy Trinity Lutheran
   Church, St. Albert the Great Catholic Church, St. Stephen's Catholic
   Church, Hands Off Venezuela Committee
