Thanks to our loyal friends and volunteers, we continue our journey and mission: to help the people of Cuba. We are profoundly grateful for your support, and, as always, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Life for the Cuban people seems to be getting more complex.
Cuba continues to be in a crisis in providing food for their people. We continue to add people to our program providing meals on a weekly basis to support Cubans who are in the most need. Buying food for our programs has even become difficult, but we are focused on increasing the number from 50 to 60 people in the next few months. Your support has become essential more than ever in this goal as Cuba struggles to feed the people.

There were two especially significant events. First, I took a walk with Robin through some of the poorest neighborhoods I have ever encountered in Cuba. The piles of trash were mind-blowing to me. These homes were just getting water service restored after two months without it. Incredible. That was only possible because a man from Spain hired a private crew to install a new pipeline. After 21 years of working in Cuba, I thought I had seen everything. Not so.
All the staff and families are doing well, and all send their regards. Amid the daily struggles in Cuba, they continue to be happy, gracious, and upbeat. I will continue to keep you updated. Thank you again for your continued support. We are blessed to have friends like you.
Thank you

Many people have recently emailed asking about the changes in Cuba, especially regarding tourism. I can tell you that there are many more tourists than in past visits. There has been a steady increase over the past year. But there’s a more important question: Is this increase in revenue from tourists reaching the people? For many months, I have been saying that life for the Cuban people seems to be getting more difficult.
