SPECIAL REPORTS:
CUBA-AFRICA:
Decades of Assistance and Cooperation
Dozens of
countries in Africa benefit from medical or other assistance programmes from
Cuba, and in four decades this socialist island nation has helped train around
30,000 young people from that continent in a number of specialties.
Medical assistance, which began in 1963 when Cuba sent health brigades to
Algeria, has been extended to more than 20 nations, 16 of which are included in
the Integral Health Programme, which also encompasses seven countries in Latin
America and two in Asia.
THE TAKE:
DON'T ASK
“What is ecotourism?”
The interesting thing
about ecotourism is that very few people know how to answer that question. The
large part of the problem is that ecotourism means different things to different
people. To some, Pirates of the Caribbean might suit well for an ecotourist
adventure. To others, eating tree bark while photographing squirrels is a much
better alternative.
“People, the fickle creatures that we are, went to all the trouble to
build cities only later to find ourselves wanting to leave them.”
