On the outside, it’s not always so obvious that Cuba is a poor country. People adorn themselves with Gucci and Chanel clothing, much like rich New Yorkers, except theirs are cheap knock-offs from China. However, on closer glance, it’s obvious it’s clear that Cubans struggle to make ends meet.
Today I had a conversation with Ivan, the video/tech person at the church about the cost of electricity relative to income. Their bill last month was $30, but their income is about $20/ month. So, the question is … how does he pay for his electricity? And, more importantly, how does he afford to support his family on that income?
