Helps humanitarian and shippings

When you travel you don't forget to include in your baggage the medications that you can pick up of friends, schools or pharmacies; as much as possible it avoids the glass flasks they -weigh too much - and don't forget the handouts. For person you can introduce in the tax-free country and in package separated 10 kg. of medicines, although I don't believe that they put you any problem if the package weighs a little more, you remember that some medicines are scare in the country. You try to take antibiotics, used against influenza, antihistamínics, antifebriles, antiasthmatics, antiparasitics (amoebas, etc, caused by the water), antihypertensive, eyewashes or complex vitaminics. You can also include graduated glasses. 
In your trip to Cuba if you decide to take medicines and you don't know anybody to any person to which can give it, I propose you that you make them to him to arrive to the Spanish priest Teodoro Becerril, parish priest of the Carmen's church, in Havana, located in street Infanta, corner with street Neptuno, with which you can contact in the telephone 878-5168. The Church is very near the University of Havana and it is very easy of identifying then in its tower has a gigantic sculpture of the Carmen's Virgin. He takes charge of distributing them through Parochial Cáritas among the neighbors of the area that need them or to any Cuban that has prescribed it to him the medical one and it cannot get it. It is the surest method that the medicines don't end up in the " black market " and have the best use. If you want you can write to their email. Another possibility it is to give as much the medicines as the school material in Havana to the father Cuevas, you will find it in the parish San Nicolás, in the street San Nicolás, 830. 
For the schools you can take pencils of coal and of colors, erasers, sharpener, pens, rules, as well as notebooks, folios, notebooks, books, dictionaries or atlas, although these last ones weigh a lot. 
If you have some doubt, you can contact some of the solidary organizations with Cuba that I have placed in the option of Links, they will be able to guide you on what to make with the help that you take if you don't know anybody in the Island and you can surrender it for a better use and distribution to who. You can also make them arrive to them material and medications so that they send it to the Island.

If what you want is that some relative or friend receives at home an article that your you buy him via Internet, in case it resides in Havana or Matanzas, you can appeal to Stores Universe, of the Group Cubanacán.
