After Cuba was hit by 2 devastating hurricanes, a team of 20 trades people from the United States worked alongside Cubans in Puerto Esperanza to reconstruct a school for children with special needs. Along with soldiarity and a willingness to work, the US team also brought down supplies and tools needed for reconstruction, as Cuba is unable to purchase much needed equipment due to the US blockade.
