The Interreligious Foundation for Community Organizing sent an Emergency Hurricane Relief Brigade to Cuba on Oct. 20. The team of 20 construction workers, including masons, electricians and plumbers, are in Puerto Esperanza helping to repair a school for special needs children that was all but destroyed by Hurricane Ike. Upon its arrival, the brigade was welcomed by ICAP, the Cuban Institute for Friendship with the People. It will remain in Cuba until Nov. 17.
