Havana, July 29 (RHC)-- As part of the solidarity effort of the organizations Puentes de Amor and CodePink, another 2,750 pounds of powdered milk from the United States has arrived in Cuba..

"Without even resting from yesterday's Caravan against the blockade, the bridge workers began to prepare in the early morning all the cargo that goes to maternal and child hospitals in Havana and other health centers in Cuba," explained activist Carlos Lazo.

This is in addition to more than 60 thousand pounds of powdered milk that we have sent to pediatric hospitals in all the provinces of Cuba in the last two years, he recalled.

"And we will continue to open gaps in the blockade until the sanctions that punish the Cuban family are lifted," said the coordinator of Puentes de Amor.

Just two weeks ago, both groups sent a similar amount of milk to pediatric hospitals in Artemisa, Mayabeque and a school for special education in Havana.

Despite the hate campaigns and intimidation that try to discredit and prevent Cuban emigrants from the island from contributing to the efforts of milk for Cuba, we exceeded the original idea of ​​40 thousand pounds, said the professor based in the city of Seattle.

He reiterated that they covered the 15 provinces of the country "and we and CodePink (a pacifist organization) will continue to do the same to help those in need, the children, the people who are in hospitals, while the blockade of the United States Government is in place."

For Lazo, it is the duty of every patriotic emigrant and of all those who fight to lift this criminal unilateral siege imposed on the people of the Caribbean nation for more than six decades.   (Source: Prensa Latina)
