Dismissing the rape gang scandal as a "dog whistle" isn't just tone-deaf ? it's a vile insult to victims and exposes a government more afraid of losing votes than of protecting children, says Henry Hill in the Telegraph.

Tyrone Youth in Fundraising Trek of Cuban Mountains

category international | miscellaneous | press release author Monday September 06, 2010 20:36author by Viva Cuba Report this post to the editors

Two Tyrone young people will be setting out for Cuba in little over a month, to trek the Caribbean island's Sierra Maestra Mountain range, in a fundraising effort for Cuban Medical Aid.

Barry McColgan from Strathroy in Omagh, and Marie Claire Devlin from Pomeroy, will be starting the gruelling trek of Cuba's highest mountain range on the 15th October.

The Tyrone duo, both members of Ógra Shinn Féin are being hosted and facilitated by the Cuban Government while there, and their fundraising efforts have already been officially endorsed by the Cuban Ambassador to Ireland Teresita Trujillo, who greeted them in the Embassy last Thursday 2nd September.

The Sierra Maestra as well as being famous as the highest mountain range in Cuba are historically renowned for the guerrilla warfare that was waged by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara's 26th July Movement at the start of the Cuban revolution.

Encouraging people to support the fundraising effort for Cuban Medical Aid, Barry McColgan said,

"The US embargo of Cuba limits the availability of essential medicines and medical supplies to the Cuban people, we would like to use the fundraising trek to raise much needed medical aid but also awareness about the blocade and the devastating effects it has on day to day life for Cuban citizens."

"We would encourage everyone to donate towards a worthy cause, to sponsor our fundraising trek and by doing so providing essential life saving medical aid to the Cuban people, defying and putting pressure on the US administration to lift their crazy and ill thought embargo of Cuba."

To sponsor the fundraising efforts contact Barry on osfnational@yahoo.ie or call on 07885569940.
