CUBAN BLUE BAG DELIVERY A SUCCESS Dianne MacGregor, Colleen Soetaert and friends embarked on a memorable trip to Cuba in April <strong>2014</strong> where they gladly delivered an SCI Drayton Valley Chapter Humanitarian Blue Bag to a local school. The following is a written excerpt from Colleen Soetaert’s travel diary which she transcribed, describing the experience both herself and her travel partners experienced while delivering this Blue Bag… "On April 1st we packed up all the items into the Blug Bag which consisted of school supplies, clothing and toys for young children which the SCI Drayton Valley Chapter had acquired. We met with our contact and went to his house to sort out the stuff for the school. We had a lovely visit with him and his family and saw a typical Cuban house. In his yard he has chickens, a pig, bananas, lemons and other fruits. His mother and father in law, brother in law, aunt, wife, and grandmother in-law, and two children all live in the house. He feels they are very lucky as they have a fridge, and some other appliances. The average Cuban makes 30 pesos or dollars a month. Those who work in hotels are better off as they get tips. A fridge costs about $750 dollars so it takes many months to own a fridge. They have rationed food so that no one starves, but it is not enough for the month so they buy the rest at an expensive place. We dropped the school supplies at a school; we met the director (which is the principal) and some children and teachers. We were not allowed to take pictures. Four children met us in their uniforms. The administration of the school was overwhelmed with the items being gifted to them. Although it was a challenge for our contact to arrange; it all worked out very well. On a personal note..... Our contact shares much of what he gets with others less fortunate in his own community. We could tell he is well respected and our driver indicated to us, that this man was well liked and appreciated. Our contact felt bad that we had issues at the airport, but indicated that they are a proud country and “the powers that be” would not appreciate being looked upon as a country in need. Our contact`s family was overwhelmed with the generosity for the school and for all the little children. I was sent pictures of the children but was asked not to share them publicly. Despite the subterfuge of our little excursion, I know our contact would willingly do it again, but would suggest bringing the items in a regular suitcase amidst ones own clothing and no candy as a dog will sniff that out. Below are parts of 2 different emails that he has sent me, you will see by his comments how very grateful he is." Hi there Colleen I hope you and all the group are fine. I apologize for the delay to write back to you, I have no justification. As promised I am sending some pictures of the children I help in my personal program that I call "Put A Smile on a Child" Thank you very much for your GREAT CONTRIBUTION!!! I took advantage that my house (my in-laws's) is the seat of a Government program we call "Educate your child" where children over two and under 5 who are not attending nursery school go there twice a week and a teacher teaches them, food habits, how to dress by themselves, the colors, to tell a short story, to sing a song, the geometric shapes, etc. Then this day we made a party for the children and I took advantage to deliver them clothes from the ones you brought. These pictures are only meant for you, not to publish in any means of communication of any kind. I will send a few more and some that I took before I met you. Love to all GOOD PEOPLE. _____________________________________________ Hi there Colleen, It is very nice to hear from you. We are fine. I told you, we people who work here in Cayo Coco are blessed to have the job we have and we get a lot, so for me it is a duty to share with those who have not the same possibilities and are in need. People like your friends and you are the people that this world needs. Love to all | 16
