CRDP directors
meet Mexican consul
MIAMI,
November 5 - Mexican consul, Mr. Jorge Lomonaco, met with
members of the Board of Directors of the Miami based Civic-Rural
Development Project (CRDP), during the "November 2" festivity
celebration in the Mexican Cultural Institute.
During the
meeting, the General Consul made particular emphasis on the
situation faced by South Florida's community, after the
passing of hurricane Wilma. Mr. Lomonaco was able to assess
the devastating effects of such storm, after a wide tour
through the affected area. In this regard, he called for the
implementation of all required measures in order to achieve a
prompt recuperation.
In this regard, Jadir Hernandez, CRDP's General Director,
discussed with Mr. Lomonaco CRDP's objectives and their
availability for working with all communities, including the
Mexican community; making it clear that their aims are not
just limited to assisting the Cuban civil-rural society, but
being open, as well, to the delineation of development
patterns for all farming families wherever they may be located.
CRDP emerged
from the need of restructuring Cuba's civil-rural society.
However, it was later realized that such initiatives could, as
well, be applied to other places through the creation of
different chapters that would include Latin America. At the
present time, Attorney Beatriz Triana and Ms. Carolina
Fernandez, attended also the meeting, are coordinating the
structuring of the Venezuelan Chapter.
Right now,
CRDP is working towards the creation of the Development and
Entertainment Center for temporary workers (migrant workers)
in the agricultural areas of the United States, with a view of
training and developing such migrant workers in the
performance of their work and the exercising of their civil
rights.
Among CRDP's
objectives, it is contemplated to provide the rural people
with the capacity of exercising their rights as a social class,
to make them economically self-sufficient through cooperative
and private agricultural enterprises, with guaranteed minimum
wages, ownership participation, and property titles,
introducing, as well, modern agricultural concepts and a rural
education according to their interests and needs.
CRDP is
composed of women, youth, professional, and farmers
organizations, all determining their own strategies under the
guidance and supervision of their CRDP's representatives.
