In April 13-20,2024 Cuba PIP Team, Pilgrims in Partnership visited our new partner,

Centre for Christian Reflection & Dialogue.  We learned about the work that

CCRD does in the community of Cárdenas. Our itinerary included the learning of the vision of

CCRD, Sunday worship at the Presbyterian Church; the meal program (fresh meals made

Monday-Friday and delivered to 120 elderly/disabled/special needs folks - visiting some of the

recipients of this meal program; Grandes Ilusiones – partner in the community offering

programming for youth with physical and mental disabilities; CCRD farm El Retiro – producing

food for the meal program, CCRD and others; “120 Women’s Club” – retired female

professionals; Neurological Institute, Diabetic Clinic, and orphanage. All the donations we

gathered and delivered were greatly appreciated. We distributed most of them to the partners

we visited.

Partnership who is sponsoring their visit to Canada.
