After forty four years since he left,Cuba still is a land of beauty yet fraught with contradictions. He is surprised by whatthe country has to offer him soon after he arrives. Most Cubans are vigilant of ’BigBrother’ watching but they have remarkably kept their festive attitude toward life.How do you shake the heartbreaking poverty?

The author keeps asking, 'Isignorance bliss?'The author’s journey of healing begins when he recalls Cuba through his childhoodmemories. He discovered that change is inevitable and it must come from inside thecountry. What external events will help strengthen this change? The U.S. must lift itsembargo to help alleviate the hunger and lack of medicine that affects manyCubans. In return, will the Cuban government have enough courage to free itspolitical prisoners and allow freedom of speech to flourish and go unpunished?Cuba can heal its broken heart.
