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.
Globe Aware trips to Cuba are 7 days 6 nights, Saturday to Friday!
