Please do come and support this cause on this fun-filled afternoon.....

Viva Pakistán!!!!! A ship carrying food, mainly rice, and other essentials for the victims of hurricane Matthew just arrived in Baracoa. From so far away and one of very few to arrive - well done Pakistan! A ship also arrived from Venezuela and one from Panama. But where are all the other flags? 😒😒 still a pressing need for roofs and construction material. A zillion thanks to all who have contributed so far, but still a long way to go before everyone in desperate need gets some help. Let's unite for the humble population of Baracoa in Cuba

Thank you for the overwhelming support so far. The situation in Baracoa is critical. Multitudes of people either have lost their entire homes with all their belongings inside, and most of the remaining houses are without roofs. Most people are therefore without shelter. There is still no electricity and very little food, people are surviving on portions of rice! Cuba is in the hurricane belt and has been hit with hurricanes previously but even the oldest generations of Cubans have ever seen such destruction in Baracoa before. Please help!
