A small but energetic crowd welcomed participants in this year’s Caravan to Cuba to Free Speech Zone for a presenation on their U.S. tour before ending up in Texas to take humanitarian aid across the Mexican broder en route to Cuban citizens. A film was shared about the 1993 caravan and a lively discussion followed.
We had a lot of fun socializing and learning about peace projects in other states and countries. We share information and became inspired. Each year the Pastors for Peace Caravan to Cuba travels the country doing outreach and networking and collecting aid for Cuban Citizens. About 13 buses converge in Texas to cross the border into Mexico. They obtain no license because they feel they should not have to obtain a special license to help those in need.
