Any one of the moderators is welcome to delete the post asap. I am not showing that option.

As I mentioned earlier this was never meant to cause harm or gossip just to get people who can to go help people who need it.

Some folks really need to stay more up-to-date on current events. The new leader of Cuba has recently lifted the travel restrictions on the "regular" citizens of Cuba. Cubans are now allowed to travel outside of Cuba without any of the former governmental paper work which restricted travel to the politically connected citizens.

They are allowed cell phones, tools for planting gardens (previously restricted to gov approved farms), they can stay in "tourist only" hotels now, computers are allowed now.

Granted, the average Joe still cannot afford most of these items. But the tide is turning. The new Cuban leader doesn't really care if these Cubans come back or not. In fact under the new rules for travel if a Cuban stays gone for more than one year then they must apply to come back.

I don't think discussing them here will have any negative impact on these people.

Shuffles and I just got back from the police station we dropped off a load of clothing toiletries and fruit. The police were very nice and helped us take the stuff directly too them. Other people have brought food not sure what else.

A special blessing to those who are concerned enough to help.

I say expose wrongs and it will help make it right. I'm sure there is some validity to the argument that these people are harmed by the exposure. They want us to expose the wrong , someone go ask them if they think the exposure in the press is good and does it matter to them if they are the object/tool of the exposure. Cubans love their country, they risked their lives to escape but even though they have to flee the current problem, they want the problem fixed just as bad.

Your caring and giving will only help. Thank you! Please keep us informed as to what really happens. With the changes beginning in Cuba, maybe refugees will be handled differently in Belize.
