"This is me at the hospital in Chivirico, Cuba. It
did not take very long and they happily posed for a few
pictures. The hospital is
located at the end of town, surrounded by banana trees,
at the foot of the Sierra Maestra mountains. I have
since befriended a dentist/doctor couple in the very
small village near my hotel, and will take a suitcase
suitable for a clinic, when I go next time. It is a
pleasure to help Cubans, and I do spread the word." -

"I am
mailing in our delivery report for the package that we took
down to Cuba over New Years. We dropped it off at
Policlinico #2 Celia Sanchez Manduley, in the city of
Trinidad. The director of the hospital is Dr. Juan Carlos
Carles Zerquera, apparently from a well known family in the
city and a very well regarded doctor. He was very grateful for the
goods and said that they only get one or two drop-offs a
year. The clinic serves
about 10,000 people with frontline medical services and is
pretty basic in terms of supplies, so any further shipments
would be welcome. They were very welcoming and in fact we
were taken to see Dr. Carlos within 10 minutes of arrival.
It was a nice addition to our trip which was largely focused
on community contact in different towns that we visited."

"My holiday took on a
whole new meaning once I found out about NJTT". Dianne
Billington and her family delivered three suitcases of
medical supplies to three clinics between Santiago de Cuba
and the town of Chivirico (Jan 2009).

"Here are the
pictures I snapped from our trip to the hospital just
outside Cardenas. The experience was both humbling and
surreal. We arrived at the hospital and made our way to the
administrator's office where we met with the administrator
and provided her with the bags and she stamped our
paperwork. After that, we were taken on a tour of the
facilities, there were many people and family members all
around the hospital, space is tight, what little equipment
and supplies they have are well organized. Visiting the
hospital I wish we could have brought more cases, perhaps
next time. It was our pleasure to deliver the supplies to
Cuba." - Garth
