For those with interest, an opportuity to travel to Cuba... July 11, 2005 Dear Cuba Policy Advocates: Because so many of you have asked us how to travel to Cuba legally under current U.S. policy, we’re passing the following information on to you as one of the now-rare opportunities to travel to Cuba legally and for a very worthwhile purpose. Most legal avenues for travel to Cuba have closed due to Bush Administration restrictions on our fundamental rights. If you are looking for a way to travel to Cuba and to interact with the Cuban people, here is your chance. And don’t forget to sign the petition on the freedom to travel and forward it on to others: http://www.lawg.org/tools/petition.htm Sincerely, Mavis Anderson Philip Schmidt Latin America Working Group http://www.lawg.org NOTICE: This is to inform you of an opportunity to participate in a very unique project to help the children of Cuba. On September 24th 100 Americans will be boarding a plane in Miami to spend 8 days in Cuba on a full-time program of assembling and erecting four custom-made playgrounds in four family neighborhoods in and around Havana. This unique opportunity is being sponsored by It's Just The Kids, Inc. (IJTK), a non-profit organization that completed three similar playgrounds in Havana in May 2003. IJTK is seeking both funds and volunteers to assist with this effort to help the Cuban children. The organization has obtained all the necessary licenses and permissions from both the U.S. Government and Cuban officials and is now in the process of raising the needed funds and recruiting volunteers to make this project a success. They could use your help in this effort. For information about the 2005 Playground Project and It’s Just The Kids, Inc, visit their website at http://www.itsjustthekids.org . If you have any questions about the project, contact Debbie Watterson at [email protected] ; or you can call her at 619-749-6068. We also encourage you to pass this information on to anyone you know who may be interested in volunteering and assisting with this project. Their web page also has photos of the playground sites that will be replaced or constructed in September 2005, along with 3-D renditions of the new playground equipment. Just click on “2005 Playground Sites” on their website for more information – http://www.itsjustthekids.org . There is a deadline of August 1, so please contact IJTK as soon as possible if you are interested in being part of this program.
