The Special Education system in Cuba celebrates 64 years since its creation on January 4, established in the early years of the Revolution to serve students with disabilities.

Cuba was awarded Best Caribbean Cultural Destination 2021 at the World Travel Awards, given annually to recognize excellence in all sectors of the global travel and tourism industry.

For them, “US national security” is not an abstract concept debated on American cable news; it is the tangible reality of a 20-hour blackout, the smell of spoiled food, and the fear for a child’s refrigerated medicine.

It is the 67-year-old defiance of a small island nation that has refused to relinquish its sovereignty.
