The delegation of more than a hundred pastors are delivering a hundred tons of donated humanitarian aid from US and Canadian cities over the course of several months. The aid includes medical, musical, and sports equipment as well as six school buses. The delegation, however, was not able to bring computer donations to the island as federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security seized them last week at the Texas-Mexico border. Customs officials took the 32 computers donated from a Japanese-American group in San Francisco on the grounds that they violated the embargo. Members of the delegation protested outside the customs office compound until their entry into Mexico was authorized. The seized computers will be returned to the group upon their arrival to the US, but they will not be in the 32 Cuban classrooms as intended. <\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pastorsforpeace.org\">www.pastorsforpeace.org<\/a> or call 212-926-5757. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program GUEST: Lucia Bruno, Communications Director for Pastors for Peace The 19th Pastors for Peace US-Cuba Friendship Caravan arrived in Havana over the weekend challenging the decades-long embargo on unlicensed trade and aid to the communist island.
