It was inspiring to see the immediate bond between the Trevor and Cuban high school students, as well as our connection with the nursery school children. When we returned, it was clear that just one week's immersion into Cuban culture had a profound, positive impact on all of us and was a catalyst for deep reflection. We had all seen firsthand that, despite Cuba's lack of resources and other difficulties, most Cubans are filled with joy, perseverance, happiness, and have a deep desire to share their values for art and education with the rest of the world. I had hoped that this trip would inspire students from both countries to learn from each other, gain new perspectives, and deepen their respective worldviews. e experience completely exceeded my expectations." —Alicia A.
