In an article published in Granma, Pastors for Peace thanked Cuba for its contribution in educating young Americans in Cuban medical schools. Lucius Walker and Helen Brenstein from Pastors were quoted in Granma.
The Communist daily wrote:
“Walker explained with pleasure the mission of bringing these nine students from six different states, among them a Native American Californian, and all of their dispositions ‘to take advantage Cuba’s incredible offer to become doctors to attend their own humble communities, which don’t have access to health care.
“While Washington looks for other ways to more heavily pressure the Revolution, he said, Cuba responds with love and a revolutionary compromise, and offers the young U.S. citizens what they can’t receive in their own country.”
Pastors for Peace routinely challenges the trade embargo on Cuba by organizing aid shipments to the island and all but daring U.S. Customs officials to seize the goods.
There’s no doubt we need more doctors in the U.S. But is this the solution?
