Saturday, August 25, 2007 at 05:19PM Camp Havana ‘07
Glencolumbkille,
Co. Donegal.
7th to 9th September 2007
From Friday 7th to Sunday 9th September 2007 men, women and children from every corner of this island - and indeed from much further away - will gather in Glencolumbkille, Donegal. They will come in busses, by car, bicycle or on foot. They will erect CAMP HAVANA and walk the hills surrounding the valley of Glencolumbcille. Some will take the challenging hike across the Slieve League ridge, some will use a more relaxed walking route and some will only go as far as the bus can take them. Some may even attempt to dance salsa!
This year's Camp Havana is dedicated to the topic of Cuban Health Care in the World and its unparalleled and unsurpassed delivery of health care to impoverished communities throughout the third world.
Contact information and Sponsorship Cards for the walk are available from:
Eleanor Lanigan, Dublin, at 01-8339766 or Bill O’Brien, Glencolumbcille, at: 087-2939466
