Join us on a Cuban voyage of discovery! Spend 9 full days in Havana and a
neighboring province, and learn how a relatively poor country
. provides free healthcare for all its citizens
. has become a pioneer in organic agriculture and sustainable development
. is training thousands of young people from poor communities around the world
(including 122 from the US!) to be doctors, completely free of charge, at the
internationally acclaimed Latin American School of Medicine
. offers protection to all its people when natural or man-made disasters (hurricanes
or international economic crises) hit the island
. has sent hundreds of doctors to save lives in Haiti -- not just since the
earthquake, but for 10 years prior
. has one of the most artistically talented societies in the world
Caravan participants with skills in construction, organic gardening or mural
painting will be able to work alongside Cuban counterparts for a couple of days,
interchanging knowledge, skills and perspectives.
Join the caravan in your city during July as we travel in school buses, trucks and
cars along 13 different routes, visiting 130 US and Canadian cities. At every stop
we educate people about the US government.s economic blockade of Cuba, while
collecting construction supplies and tools, medical supplies and equipment,
educational and cultural supplies, to be donated to our sisters and brothers in
Cuba.
Or join us in Texas on July 18th as we prepare to travel to Cuba via Mexico, without
asking for or accepting a US government license, as a disciplined collective
challenge to the blockade and travel ban on US citizens visiting Cuba, and as
ambassadors for a .people-to-people. foreign policy based in mutual respect. 
We return to Texas on August 3rd - proudly declaring that we have traveled to Cuba.
