Hurricane Gustav causes fierce flooding and damage in Cuba ##151; donations are necessary!
As you already know, Cuba has once more suffered the fierce attack of a hurricane. This one, Gustav, is considered to be the most devastating in the last forty years. Having caused severe flooding in its early stages in eastern Cuba, it grew in strength and size in the warm Caribbean waters and, after demolishing the special municipality of the Isle of Youth with its awful force, invaded Pinar del Río, Cuba's most westerly province. One hundred per cent of your donation will go to Cuba either directly or in shipping requested materials to help in the reconstruction.
