"I went there with such a hunger to learn about a culture we talk about but know so little about. When I arrived, I realized the people there wanted to learn just as much about my culture too. In order to cross cultural barriers and work towards a more peaceful world, we must first open up dialogue and exchange. I learned so much from this trip. It opened up my eyes about the little things we take for granted and those we value at times too highly. Thank you for that opportunity." Ana Massicot, Cuba Trip, Nov 2002
"From the moment I stepped off the airplane in Havana, Cuba, I found myself immersed in Cuban culture. On my first day, I found myself dancing Rumba and other traditional folkloric dances in the streets of Havana with the people, enjoying traditional Cuban meals, and learning about the history of Cuba directly from the locals. It was such an incredible experience to be a part of the culture that gave birth to modern-day Salsa music and dance." Dance professional Jennifer Earls
"Cultural exchange is one of the most important things we can do to break down barriers between cultures and foster global solidarity. My trip to Cuba was my first real experience with this kind of interaction. Not only was I able to interact and learn from some of the greats performers of the music and dance that I love, I was able to gain a new perspective on life and meet some amazing people." Musician Ken White
"Experiencing Cuba on a cultural exchange meant meeting people, seeing places, doing things that I likely would not have experienced as a regular tourist. Our trip's agenda really provided a sense of many aspects of Cuban life from the inside. Doing workshops with dancers and gymnastics coaches, touring art and sports schools, and spending time with our new friends enjoying the city made for a very memorable and inspirational trip." Stephanie Chen
