About Program
Globe Aware’s Cuba People-to-people mission is to promote cultural awareness and sustainability. There are a variety of projects volunteers can work on. In Cuba, amidst shortages of prescription drugs, alternative treatments like herbal remedies have gained significance, particularly amid and after the COVID-19 crisis. A notable Cuban initiated a Medicinal Plant Garden project to educate the community on using endemic flora for various ailments. Due to long waits for healthcare, locals often rely on plant-based and homeopathic remedies. In another initiative, a renowned artist has been adorning homes in a fishing town near Havana with intricate mosaic murals, enhancing the neighborhood's aesthetic appeal. Volunteers, through organizations like Globe Aware, may contribute by painting or continuing mosaic work.
