Our Mission:
Cuba AyUUda connects US Americans with Cubans and Cuban life resulting in transformation through friendship and service.
What do we mean by service?
“At the center of the Universe is a loving heart that continues to beat and wants the best for every person. Anything we can do to help foster the intellect and spirit and emotional growth of our fellow human beings; that is our job. Those of us who have this particular vision must continue against all odds. Life is for service.”
Fred Rogers (a.k.a., "Mister Rogers ) 1928-2003
