  1. Pedro pan No one can deny that separation from one’s family is always traumatic and painful. How could it be otherwise? However, at times its is necessary because it is the lesser of the two evils. The real heroes of Pedro Pan were the parents who made the hardest decision that any parent can make.

  2. The story of Pedro Pedro Pan http://www.miamiherald.com/2009/05/17/1053424/cubans-reconnect-with-past-through.html?asset_id=Pedro%20Pan%20tale%3A%20Eloy%20Cepero&asset_type=html_module “Everything was wrong and not much was right.” PARENT’S TWO FEARS: 1. Sending teenagers to the countryside – experiences there were terrible –” indoctrination ” (BRAINWASHING) 2. The government taking over public schools – teaching children how “Fidel is the one and only”.

  3. Over four decades ago, Cuban parents fearing that the Cuban government would take away their parental authority exercised one of the most fundamental human rights: the right to choose how their children would be educated. From December 1960 to October 1962, more than fourteen thousand Cuban youths arrived alonein the United States. What is now known as Operation Pedro Pan was the largest recorded exodusof Unaccompanied minors in the Western Hemisphere

  4. Pedro Pan was a program created by the Catholic Welfare Bureau (Catholic Charities) of Miami in December 1960 at the request of parents in Cuba to provide an opportunity for them to send their children to Miami. On January 3, 1961, the Catholic Welfare Bureau was authorized by the U.S. Department of State to notify parents in Cuba that visa requirements had been waived for their children. This enabled the children to travel by commercial flights to Miami. Founders: Father Bryan O. Walsh, the Director of Catholic Welfare BureauMr. James Baker

  5. *MOST CHILDREN WERE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 12 -18 YEARS OLD. *APPROXIMATELY, HALF OF THE MINORS WERE REUNITED WITH RELATIVES *THE OTHER HALF WERE CARED FOR BY THE CATHOLIC WELFARE BUREAU, *THE CHILDREN FROM THE CUBAN REFUGEE CHILDREN'S PROGRAM WERE PLACED IN TEMPORARY SHELTERS IN MIAMI, AND RELOCATED IN 30 STATES. (NO CHILDREN WERE PLACED FOR ADOPTION, SINCE THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM WAS TO SAFEGUARD PARENTAL RIGHTS.)
