Backpacks for The Children of Cuba

Just 90 miles south of Florida, Cuba is a mystery to most Americans.  Cuba is know for it's music, flavors and it's struggles.
Cuba is fraught with poverty and scarcity, but it also has it's triumphs. Their proudest accomplishments is having a 100% literacy rate. School is free for everyone, kindergarten to collage but due to the embargo and struggles of a developing country, school supplies are scarce.
Our small group of do-gooders will be providing backpacks filled with school supplies for 250 children in Havana. Each pack will have pencils, pens, ruler, pencil sharpener, composition book, folder, construction paper and other school supplies as well as a special fun gift
In conjunction with local residents and the children of Havana, we will also be participating in a park clean up of Havana's national forest. 
Your donations will go towards buying the supplies, backpacks and the luggage fees to carry the items down.  We have already received a tremendous amount of support through in kind donations and we want to make sure that every child has everything the need to become the next world leader and the change that Cuba so desperately needs.
