Pastors for Peace Exchange with Cuban Children

Havana, July 23 (acn) Members of the 18th Pastors for Peace Cuba-US 
Friendshipment Caravan met on Sunday with children of a foster home of 
the city of Sancti SpC-ritus in central Cuba.

The members of Pastors for Peace, who arrived last Friday in Havana 
after collecting 90 tons of humanitarian aid for Cuba in a tour around 
127 US cities, spoke with the children who showed them their home and 
offered them a cultural show.

During the meeting, the visitors learned about the advantages of the 
Cuban educational system that guarantees the necessary resources for 
the education of all the youth of the country.

The visitors also visited a poli-clinic on Sunday and learned about the 
efforts being made there towards social and economic development.

They also expressed interest in education and health care programs in 
the central province of Sancti SpC-ritus, and praised the infant 
mortality rate in the territory, which is only 3.1 deaths per every one 
thousand live births.
