When I started researching Cuba, using available internet resources, around 1999, or so, I quickly saw amazing programs for children of every age, and leaving absolutely no one out. I read about and saw photos of amazing programs for blind children, and even dance therapy for emotionally handicapped children, bringing so many of them into a world where they seemed to flourish whereas they had formerly been deeply withdrawn.
I recall pouring over pages of photos of children who had been stricken and damaged by the nuclear explosion at Chernobyl, as they were flown to Cuba, housed near the ocean, given medical treatment, special attention by medical and educational people, taken routinely to get plenty of healing sunlight, play in the Caribbean waves, start regrowing their hair, and returning to health. The program was entirely successful, so many children regained their childhoods and wellness.
I will add some photos to this post a little later.
Thank you, Marcus IM! Wonderful information most US readers haven't seen, of course!
