What is the ERNESTO CHE GUEVARA VOLUNTEER WORK BRIGADE?
Since 1993, hundreds of people living across Canada, of various ages, skills and backgrounds have enjoyed an exciting and informative three-week stay in Cuba with the Ernesto Che Guevara Volunteer Work Brigade. The Che Brigade combines volunteer work with cultural, social, economic and political encounters visiting different cities across the island every year.

This is a unique chance for people from Canada to support Cuba by volunteering on an agricultural field, painting a school, or many other projects alongside Cubans. We hope you will join us for the 2009 Che Brigade!
