Housing Development in Havana: B3’s first Alumni Trip and Project was, at the special request of the college students, to Cuba, their favorite destination. Collaborating again with the Centro Memorial Martin Luther King, Jr., the B3 alums built housing (small apartments) in the Marianaos Barrio in Havana for ten families, working in the same neighborhood and with the same Cubans as in 2001. Because under Cuban law, individuals must contribute “sweat equity” to construction projects to qualify for their own homes, the second building had to be completed before some could move into the first building (our project in 2001). The atmosphere in the Marianaos barrio compared to that of a “family reunion!” It was hot and humid, hard work, and very emotional for our Cuban friends and us.
