Jason Allen, a Board member with First-Hand Aid, shares how this nonprofit works efficiently alongside local churches with community doctors, bringing aid directly to those most in need. Focusing in Havana and Vinales, he describes how impactful is was distributing food to shut-ins, unable to support themselves. The expense of basic, staple foods like beans are rice exorbitant costs and prohibitive for many to afford. The inability to own much land makes farming difficult to grow ones own crops. Jason highlights how impactful this experience was for him and his son. He encourages you to join a trip and have the support of drivers and logistics provided for you.
