Contributions and Gifts

The IRPC in Cuba has little access to Sunday School curriculum. In 2004 I took the PCUSA's Spanish language curriculum for several age groups and a catalogue of all the available curriculum provided by the PCUSA. A donation to the fund to purchase such media is a wonderful gift to them. Please donate money through your church for the Cuba Partnership of the Baltimore Presbytery. Every cent will go towards your specified request.

Gifts that benefit the entire community are appropriate. Extra strength Tylenol, Advil, Aspirin, Imodium, tooth paste, shampoo, deodorants, bath soap. Think of all the personal hygiene items you use in a week or month. Please consult me if you have an unusual gift idea.
