While most us are scared to death and we have all right to be, they are risking their lives by facing the virus head on. I am very proud of them and I am also super proud to be apart of the rich legacy of Cuba. Cubans' have the biggest heart I have ever seen, they are always willing to share the little they have and have always opened their hearts and doors to the world. I don't allow myself to be brain washed by the media, that Cuba is a hell hole because my experience teaches me otherwise.
