Who are we?
Amigos de Cuba is
a non-governmental, non-partisan, non-profit, and an educational
organization.
Since its foundation in 1993, Amigos de Cuba has served
as educational vehicle and as a bridge of friendship and solidarity
between Cuba and Canada.
We work in the
following objectives:
Promoting
and helping to promote cultural and professional exchange between
Canada and Cuba;
Executing
and participating in peaceful and humanitarian activities to promote
the support to the Cuban people and their Revolution;
Seeking
for or providing assistance for the social and economic sustenance
of Cuba;
Participating
in joint projects with Cuban organizations in activities to
strengthen the sustainable development and self-sufficiency;
Informing
the community on relevant issues related to Cuba;
Encouraging
Canadians to support the Cuban people in upholding their national
sovereignty, self-determination and social system without any
foreign interference;
Upholding
the United Nations declaration against the economic and financial
Blockade against Cuba until it is lifted, as demanded by the
international community.
Amigos de Cuba is
the founder of the Volunteer work Brigades in the west of (pacific)
Canada.
The objective of
these human adventures is to learn about the Cuban reality, to
exchange with that hospitable people and to show our friendship and
solidarity.
The rich
experiences of the volunteer work undertaken by young, children, and
youngest at heart from different walks of life, gathered in
international work brigades have demonstrated us that projects like
these, should be continued implementing.
We also carry out,
solidarity and educational activities on the Cuban reality through
audiovisual presentations or public forums.
Although Amigos de
Cuba is non-partisan, the only credential that requires our
organization to become a member is: the respect to the international
right of Cuba to choose its political and social system, as well as
its right to its national sovereignty, without any foreign
interference. |
