The Children of Cuba   

 "Children are born to be happy" 

Jose Marti

 

       But, can they be happy living under a totalitarian system like the one in Castro's Cuba

The foreign children who live or  visit Cuba with their parents can play and have fun like all other normal children anywhere in the world

But instead of playing and  having fun, Cuban children are forced to receive military training at an early age

The playgrounds that the regime has built for the foreign children staying at tourist hotels have all the toys that a child could dream

But Cuban children have to make their own toys and use the streets as playgrounds, because there are no real playgrounds for them to play

After 46 years of Castro's failed economic policies, there is more poverty than ever before 

This hotel and its beautiful swimming pool are for the enjoyment of foreigners and their children.      

Cubans are not allowed here! 

 But if you are a Cuban child, then you'll have to use one of these 'swimming pools' that are now common in many of Havana's streets

Cuban children and their parents, sleeping outside their homes trying to escape from the heat, because there is no electricity to power fans or air conditioners. Castro blames the lack of oil for the continued interruptions in the electric power systems.

But how can that be possible when his puppet , Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, sends more than 70,000 barrels of oil daily at incredibly low prices? The answer is that Castro resells most of the oil that he receives from Chavez, instead of using it to benefit the Cuban people.

According to a recent report in the Miami Herald, most of the oil that Venezuela supplies to Castro, never even arrives in Cuba because it is sold by Cuban oil brokers and shipped directly to other nations in the Caribbean and Central America. Castro buys low from Chavez, sells high to other nations and pockets the difference.

                                           

Haven't all Cuban children suffered enough?  Isn't it time for Cuba's children to be happy, like Jose Marti dreamed?
