“Our hearts and prayers are with our brothers & sisters in Puerto Rico as they once again are faced with the catastrophic devastation of a natural disaster – Hurricane Fiona. We continue to monitor official updates, media reports, and speak with families & advocates on the ground. In the last forty –eight hour, we have received countless messages asking how we – the Connecticut Puerto Rican community & beyond – can help."
For more than 20 years, the Connecticut Institute for Community Development (CICD) Puerto Rican Parade, Inc. has recognized over 100 individuals for their community leadership, commitment to education and preservation of culture and arts in memory of our beloved Maria C. Sanchez.
