In response to Hurricane Katrina, Cuba assembled 1,586 humanitarian doctors to offer to assist the United States. The offer was declined, and on September 19, 2005 Fidel Castro created the Henry Reeves International Contingent of Doctors Specialized in Disasters and Serious Epidemics in honor of him. The contingent is named after a U.S. born supporter of Cubaās first war of independence against Spain.
The Henry Reeve emergency medical brigade is a contingent of Cuban doctors organized by the Cuban governmant to bring professional assistance to peoples in need in any corner of the world.
Cuba has over 300 doctors in Haiti at the moment helping to bring medial help to the Haitian people, many of whom were sent to Puerto Principe in the aftermath of the earthquake.
The medical brigade, which has experience in China, Pakistan, Guatemala, Indonesia and Bolivia, joined the rest of the health staff that was located there, which is helping citizens since the beginning of the tragedy.

Cuba, officially the Republic of Cuba , is an island country in the Caribbean. The nation of Cuba comprises the main island of Cuba, the Isla de la Juventud, and several archipelagos. Havana is the capital of Cuba and its largest city.
Sol Rio de Luna y Mares near Guardalavaca, Cuba. This is from a third floor balcony in the 5000 block looking east towards the Luna side pool - just visible in the photo.
The Cuban Gnatcatcher is mostly limited to disjunct coastal areas on the eastern part of the main island. The thin dark crescent behind the eyes -- only partly visible in this image -- is a diagnostic (identifying) feature of the species.
in Cuba i saw these flowers
they made me think of the flowers that Zenog shows us
we stopped the car
and i got as many as i could carry in two hands
back in the car my lap was full of flowers
and i was excited
but then i felt my legs itching
really bad
and the flowers were full of ants
ieuw!
we stopped the car again
and i got rid of the flowers as fast as i could :-)))
