at the Donahue Academy Aug. 18 from 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. Fid
el Castro promised the Cuban people he was not a Communist when he took ov
er Cuba ...but some of the Cubans knew better! Between
1960 and 1962\, over 14\,000 children were sent out of Cuba alone by despe
rate parents who feared for their children's future under Castro. Victor d
iscusses the events and key figures surrounding the exodus\, including the
roles of the Catholic church and the State Department\, and the extent of
the CIA's involvement. A stirring account of the cover
t effort to smuggle Cuban children into the United States in the aftermath
of Fidel Castro's rise to power\, Fleeing Castro brings to light the huma
nitarian program designed to care for the children once they arrived and t
he hardship and suffering endured by the families who took part in Operati
on Pedro Pan. From late 1960 until the October 1962 mis
sile crisis\, 14\,048 unaccompanied Cuban children left their homeland\, t
he small island suddenly at the center of the Cold War struggle. Their par
ents\, unable to obtain visas to leave Cuba\, believed a short separation
would be preferable to subjecting their offspring to Castro's totalitarian
Marxist state. For the children\, the exodus began a prolonged and tragic
ordeal--some didn't see their parents again for years\; a few never did.<
/span> Until now\, this chapter of the Cuban Revolution has be
en relatively obscure. Initially the result of an effort by James Baker\,
headmaster of an American school in Cuba who worked closely with the anti-
Castro underground\, Pedro Pan quickly came to involve the Catholic Church
in Miami and\, in particular\, Father Bryan Walsh\, who established the C
uban Children's Program\, the nationwide organization that cared for those
children without relatives or friends in the United States--almost half o
f them. The latter program\, in effect until 1981\, was the first to allot
federal money to private agencies for child care\, an action with far-rea
ching repercussions for U.S. social policy. Victor Andr
es Triay traces this story from its political and social origins in Cuba\,
setting it in the context of the Cold War and describing the roles of the
organizations involved in Cuba and in the United States. Making use of ex
tensive interviews with Baker\, Walsh\, and influential underground figure
s\, as well as personal letters that document the fears and dreams of both
the parents and the children\, Triay presents this history of Pedro Pan--
the largest child refugee movement ever in the Western Hemisphere--with th
e drama of an international thriller and the pathos of a heartbreaking fam
ily drama. The Donahue Academy Shamrocks take one Nicea Academy at home

DESCRIPTION:
Drawing from her personal story\, as well as her visits
with teens around the world\, Pam talks about the consequences-physical\,
emotional\, moral and spiritual-of sex outside of marriage. It's been her
experience that\, if given the facts\, today's young people are fully capa
ble of making good\, healthy decisions.
For years\, Pam was on
the 'front lines' as Director of Alpha Women's Center\, a counseling cente
r for women undergoing crisis pregnancies. Her experiences taught her that
before teen pregnancy and STD rates could decline\, attitudes of teens to
ward sex first had to change. Desiring to bring about that change\, Pam st
arted speaking nationally full-time and is in great demand both in the U.S
.A. and in other countries such as Mexico\, Australia\, Ireland\, and Cana
da.
