I know many of you saw the article in the paper this week about Global Links' important role in providing relief to the people of Cuba, who have been hit hard by late-summer hurricanes this year.
Sixth Presbyterian provides committed volunteers to Global Links. If you have not yet had a chance to offer some time to them and would like to do so, please contact Doris Bell, Jan Maxwell, or Sheila Kier for more information!

A little Pittsburgh nonprofit is about to play a big role in Cuban disaster relief.
Global Links, a Garfield-based medical relief organization, holds one of only a handful of federal licenses allowing legal humanitarian aid to Cuba.
To deal with the aftermath of two major hurricanes walloping the island nation in just more than a week, the World Health Organization asked Global Links to serve as a conduit in delivering medical supplies to the country.
