Often three generations are crowded into a single unit, and over-crowding has become a serious problem, especially in Havana. You can help "be a part of the solution" by joining an IFCO/Pastors for Peace Work Brigade to Cuba. Brigadistas live and work in Cuba's first working class barrio, Pogolotti, in Marianao. You will work along side the same Cubans who will occupy the houses when they are finished. No construction experience is necessary. Women and men, young and old are welcome. The cost of $850 for 1 week or $1150 for 2 weeks includes: round trip air fare from Cancun, Mexico; food, lodging, translation and transportation; and funds for the purchase of construction materials and tools in Cuba. (Airport taxes or fees are not included.)
